Two switches or one? With a GaN bidirectional switch, you only need one.
See our 13 kW Vienna rectifier hit 98% plus efficiency at ±430 V.
Jinseng Vanderkloot walks through a reference design built on Infineon’s CoolGaN™ BDS, where a single device replaces two unidirectional switches to cut losses and simplify the power stage. The result is high density power conversion with a power factor above 0.99, less heat, and fewer cooling headaches for data center power and telecom power teams. In short, cleaner power with a smaller parts count and more usable output.
Highlights:
⚡ Single GaN bidirectional switch replaces two devices for simpler PFC
📈 ＞98% efficiency with ＞0.99 power factor for high efficiency designs
🧊 Lower thermal load that helps reduce cooling requirements in racks
🏗️ ±430 V DC output at 13 kW for scalable infrastructure builds
Curious how this fits into your next build?
