EPC (Efficient Power Conversion) has announced the publication of a Simplified-Chinese edition of its GaN transistor textbook, GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion. The textbook provides power-system design engineers basic technical and application-focused information on how to design more efficient power-conversion systems using gallium-nitride-based transistors. According to Professor Li Yong Dong of Tsing Hua University, "This book reviews materials and development of power devices with a research focus on the new gallium nitride semiconductor materials as well as its characteristics and applications. This book's analyses are intricate with innovative contents, detailed and authentic analyses, having theoretical appreciation while giving engineers practical examples with extensive experimental data in support of extensive analytical discussions. Being a reader in the electronic industry, this is a highly commendable book with a balance of theories, practicalities, and readability". This practical guide provides guidance on the use of GaN transistors in widely used power-electronics applications, ranging from buck converters to PoE (power over Ethernet). Also included are discussions on fundamental power-engineering subjects such as performance characteristics of GaN transistors, layout considerations for GaN circuits, paralleling GaN transistors, and driver IC requirements for GaN transistors. The final chapters address GaN device reliability, their exceptional radiation-resistant characteristics, and well as their future in power electronics. English and Simplified Chinese editions of GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion are available for $39.95 and can be purchased from EPC, Digi-Key, or Amazon. Efficient Power Conversion
