Robustness and Stability of Gallium Nitride Transistors in Dynamic Power Switching
… switching. The output capacitance (COSS) loss has recently been found to be the dominant loss in soft switching, which is the loss associated with GaN HEMT's COSS when it is charged and discharged. This process should be lossless for an ideal capacitor, but GaN HEMT experiences a …
