Abstract

This work discusses the usage of two new power semiconductor technologies. One is Galium nitride (GaN) switches which belong to the wide-band gap devices. The second one is chip-embedding of silicon (Si) devices inside the PCB. This will be done by explaining the two new technologies and then providing a system design for a HV/LV DC-DC converter utilizing both these two technologies which could be used in automotive applications for the converter charging the auxiliary 12 V battery.
