Power semiconductors
Which is an example of an everyday product in which GaN power devices are increasingly used?
- ADesks and chairs
- BThe mechanical contacts of light switches
- CCompact, high-power chargers (AC adapters) for smartphones and similar devices
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C. Compact, high-power chargers (AC adapters) for smartphones and similar devices
GaN power devices switch at high speed, so the transformers and capacitors in a charger can be made smaller, enabling compact, high-power chargers. They are increasingly used in chargers for smartphones and laptops.
