HiPoSwitch Project Develops High-Efficiency, Lightning-Fast Gallium Nitride Power Switches

The project is led by the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Hoechstfrequenztechnik in Berlin, in collaboration with eight industrial and research partners from across central Europe. Lightning-fast power switches are needed to make power convertors which are compact, light-weight and energy-efficient. These converters are widely used in many electronic devices, so any new design which offers effiency benefits will have a huge market potential.
