Being a power engineer is like being a soccer goalie: no one notices you unless you fail and let one in. And if you’re controlling enough power, EVERYONE will notice because failure is typically accompanied by a startling bang and a cloud of smoke. Wide Bandgap technology, and GaN in particular, is relatively new, so how can a responsible engineer be convinced that the technology is ready for prime time and avoid an own-goal, particularly in application spaces where lives or big bags of money ar...
