What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Genuinely novel monolithic BDS with a TechInsights-confirmed structure, shipping samples, a final datasheet and a real eval board — but a narrow part lineup, AC-only blocking and added gating/driver complexity mean it warrants hands-on validation rather than blind adoption
Next
Pull the IGLT65R055B2 final datasheet + cycloconverter app note + EVAL_1K6W_H4_GaN_BDS board, breadboard the dual-gate drive and substrate-control behaviour, confirm the AC-only blocking constraint against your topology, and benchmark against a back-to-back GaN HEMT pair before committing
