Outline of Final Research Achievements

GaN power device have been applied for the power conversion system of Hybrid Electric Vehicle. In isolated DC-DC converter, GaN power device have been applied and evaluated. The DC-DC converter has achieved 200MHz switching frequency and 1.6kW output power. Under the optimal design for the 1MHz switching frequency, the output smoothing capacitor can achieved 1/25 value of capacitor.
