HAL
Gallium Nitride’s exceptionally high electron mobility and low temperature coefficient allows very
low RDS(on), while its lateral device structure and majority carrier diode provide exceptionally low QG
and zero QRR. The end result is a device that can handle tasks where very high switching frequency,
and low on-time are beneficial as well as those where on-state losses dominate.
