A forthcoming webinar, set to take place during the Virtual Conference on EV Engineering, will delve into the transformative capabilities of 100 V Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology in revolutionizing automotive power electronics. Presented by Infineon Technologies, the session aims to highlight how GaN is paving the way for more efficient, faster, and compact electric vehicle (EV) systems.
Understanding the Power of Gallium Nitride in Automotive Applications
Gallium Nitride (GaN) is emerging as a pivotal material in the advancement of automotive power electronics. Its inherent properties, including higher efficiency and faster switching speeds compared to traditional silicon-based components, enable significant improvements in the design and performance of electric vehicles.
The webinar, scheduled for March 10, 2026, at 10:30 am EDT, will offer attendees a comprehensive overview of GaN technology. It will explore the fundamental principles behind GaN’s superior performance and its direct benefits for electric mobility.
Key Applications Driving E-Mobility Efficiency
The session will specifically address how GaN technology is being applied in critical automotive systems. This includes on-board chargers, which are essential for recharging EVs, and DC-DC converters, which manage power distribution within the vehicle.
Furthermore, the webinar will discuss the impact of GaN on traction inverters, the sophisticated components that control the electric motor’s performance. By leveraging GaN, these systems can achieve higher efficiency, leading to improved vehicle range and a more dynamic driving experience.
Infineon will detail how GaN technology contributes to reducing the overall size and weight of these power electronic modules. This miniaturization is crucial for automakers seeking to optimize vehicle design, enhance passenger space, and meet stringent weight targets.
GaN as a Game Changer for the Electrified Vehicle Era
The presentation will elaborate on the value propositions that make GaN a compelling choice for the automotive industry. By reducing system size, weight, and potentially the Bill of Materials (BOM), GaN technology plays a significant role in making electric vehicles more affordable and accessible.
Attendees will gain insights into Infineon’s CoolGaN™ portfolio, designed to meet the demanding requirements of the automotive sector. The session aims to equip engineers and designers with the knowledge to integrate GaN solutions effectively, thereby accelerating the transition to widespread e-mobility.
