This tech chat focuses on some of the unique characteristics of driving Gallium Nitride (GaN) power FETs. These include reviewing the most critical parameters for selecting an isolated driver for GaN power transistors, why short dead time is particularly important with GaN switching applications and whether drivers can function at switching frequencies higher than 500 kHz.
