GaN drivers

Chassis of the electric car with powertrain and power connections closeup.GaN helps increase power density by reducing losses and enabling higher switching frequencies. Designing with GaN means pushing power conversion further in less space, enabling efficient consumer systems, data centers, renewable energy storage, industrial equipment, and EV applications. To get the most from GaN power switches, designers need gate drivers that can handle fast transitions, provide precise control, and integrate protection features that help simplify GaN power-stage design.

ST’s GaN driver portfolio, based on STGAP® and STDRIVE®, includes half-bridge and isolated gate driver solutions for both soft-switching and motor-control applications.

Applications

ST GaN gate drivers help designers achieve fast switching, reliable protection, and compact power-stage designs across high-efficiency power conversion and industrial control systems.
