A RISC-V-based System on Chip for High-Speed Control in Safety-Critical 650 V GaN-Applications

In power electronics applications, Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based transistors generally offer benefits in efficiency and switching speed, but come at the cost of harder controllability and thus more complex control circuits. As a contribution towards easier and safer control for GaN-devices, we present a new system-on-chip (SoC) specifically dedicated to the control of GaN-based power modules. The ma...
