SiC and GaN Power Conversion

SiC (Silicon carbide) & GaN (Gallium nitride) semiconductors hold a number of power application advantages over the likes of silicon semiconductors. There are however more than a few challenges that designers face in the application of these broadband semiconductors (WBGs). These semiconductors offer more efficient thermal conductivity, quicker switching speeds and are considerably smaller devices in comparison to silicon. These advancements however require engineers to review the techniques used when testing and designing future power electronics. TestEquity offer a range of equipment that used to implement the testing techniques required to create SiC & GaN power electronics.
