Abstract
The current state of wide bandgap device technology is reviewed and its impact on power electronic system miniaturization for a wide variety of voltage levels is described. A synopsis of recent complementary technological developments in passives, integrated driver, and protection circuitry and electronic packaging are described, followed by an outline of the applications that stand to be impacted. A glimpse into the future based on the current technological trends is offered.Keywords
