Abstract
High-electron-mobility transistors based on gallium nitride technology are the most recently developed power electronics devices involved in power electronics applications. This article critically overviews the advantages and drawbacks of these enhanced, wide-bandgap devices compared with the silicon and silicon carbide MOSFETs used in power converters. High-voltage and low-voltage device applications are discussed to indicate the most suitable area of use for these innovative power switches and to provide perspective for the future. A general survey on the applications of gallium nitride technology in DC-DC and DC-AC converters is carried out, considering the improvements and the issues expected for the higher switching transient speed achievable.
