Inhalt:
ST’s new gallium-nitride (GaN) transistor prototypes can be used in a large range of automotive applications to provide the necessary performance improvements demanded by the ever increasing car electrification requirements. Our low voltage GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) are highly suitable for mild hybrid powertrain systems as they render new power conversion concepts possible with faster switching operations and improved reliability.
