Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Infineon CoolGaN BDS 650V G5 is a bidirectional gallium nitride power switch that can block and conduct current in either direction from a single device, where conventional switches typically need two transistors wired back-to-back to achieve the same function. Rated for 650-volt applications, it targets power-conversion circuits such as AC-DC converters and solid-state circuit breakers that require symmetric current control in both directions.
