Elevating Efficiency, Power Density, and Thermal Performance
As computing demands escalate, particularly with the proliferation of high-performance GPUs, the need for efficient and compact power solutions becomes paramount. Recognizing this, Pico Box is excited to announce the integration of low-voltage Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology into our DC-DC ATX power supply designs.
⚡ Why Transition from Silicon MOSFETs to GaN?
Traditional DC-DC converters have relied on silicon-based MOSFETs. While effective, these components are reaching their performance limits. GaN transistors offer several advantages over their silicon counterparts:
• Higher Switching Speeds: GaN devices can operate at significantly higher frequencies, enabling faster response times and reducing the size of passive components like inductors and capacitors.
• Lower On-Resistance (RDS(on)): This results in reduced conduction losses, enhancing overall efficiency.
• Reduced Gate Charge: GaN transistors require less gate charge, leading to lower switching losses and improved thermal performance.
• Compact Size: The superior performance of GaN allows for smaller device footprints, facilitating more compact power supply designs.
