Posted: Thu Sep 01, 2022 7:20 am
Transphorm Inc of Goleta, near Santa Barbara, CA, USA — which designs and manufactures JEDEC- and AEC-Q101-qualified gallium nitride (GaN) field-effect transistors (FETs) for high-voltage power conversion — has been awarded a contract by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). Part of the ARPA-E CIRCUITS program and through a sub-contract from Illinois Institute of Technology, the project covers the supply of GaN-based four-quadrant switches (FQSes) for use in various power conversion applications including novel ones like current source inverters, cyclo-converters for drives and micro-inverters, matrix switching, and solid-state circuit breakers...
