Design Efficient Fast Switching Power Converters with EPC eGaN FETs

Hello Circuit Designers,

I found another interesting white paper in the series on using simulation in the design flow that I wanted to share. In this case an EPC eGaN FET is used in various power conversion topologies utilizing models developed in collaboration with National Instruments and EPC. Although quantum-based effects are not incorporated, the models accurately reproduce the basic response of the devices under circuit operation conditions.

For more details on simulating with the EPC eGaN FET you should check out Design Efficient Fast Switching Power Converters with EPC eGaN FETs in our white papers. This paper demonstrates how Multisim best-in-class simulation can be used to enable accurate evaluation of overshoots, efficiency and power dissipation in switch-mode power supplies resulting in a more efficient design process.
