Concluding comments
› The historical record shows new switch technologies are adopted and grow new
market segments where they push the performance window
› KEY GaN device FOM‘s are demonstrated with 10-100x improvement over
silicon (C
oss
TR, Q
rr
)
› It is clear this can be leveraged for higher density power conversion
solutions using ZVS and LLC topology
› Early applications identified but more will follow as cost of GaN device
lowers and investment continues in new topology and application
infrastructure
› LV and HV MOSFET‘s continue with fast pace of improvement in market
segments that are still growing: Silicon is not at the end of the road!
› Silicon Market size not shrinking any time soon
› Ultimately the size of new market segments which adopt GaN will
depend strongly on system cost
