    Power Integrations Launches GaN-Based Reference Design for High-Efficiency Solar Race Cars

    Power Integrations (POWI) is providing student teams in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge with the RDK-85SLR reference design kit, featuring InnoSwitch3-AQ IC with PowiGaN technology. This allows for a highly efficient (95% across loads) and compact 46-watt power supply, eliminating the need for heat sinks. The kit, inspired by ETH Zurich’s aCentauri team, helps students leverage energy-efficient technologies for sustainable designs. Solar car teams can receive the kit for free by registering online.
