What’s GaN Technology

GaN (gallium nitride) represents a key transformative technology that enables higher output power at microwave frequencies for power amplifiers and RF devices. GaN is a binary III/V direct bandgap semiconductor that has been commonly used in light-emitting diodes since the 1990s.

• Lower conductive resistance
• Faster devices yielding less switching losses
• Less capacitance resulting in less losses when charging and discharging devices
• Less power needed to drive the circuit
• Smaller devices and greater portability
• Lower cost
