GaN Systems is presenting a paper titled The Automotive Market Opportunity for GaN at the PCIM Europe Conference in Nuremberg. The presentation will be given by the President, GaN Systems, Girvan Patterson on 20th May at 11.00am during a special session in the Brüssel Room chaired by Achim Scharf from Techmedia International.

According to a report from research organisation Yole Developpement, EV/HEV applications will be a key sector in the automotive market opportunity for the fast switching and conduction performance offered by GaN power switching semiconductors. Sales over the next five years are expected to be rapid and exceed $500m by 2020.

The paper looks at the requirements of EV/HEV applications including EV/HEV power and operating voltage requirements, specific on-resistance and FOM, and examines in detail a yieldable large area 650V/100A GaN transistor. Current and projected cost/performance parameters of such very large area GaN power switching transistors, SiC and IGBTs are compared.

The special session also includes presentations from EPC, Transphorm and Infineon, and is followed by what is sure to be a lively Q & A session and debate in the afternoon.
