output gate consuming on the order of 2~5 W (in what I assume to be mostly the gate \"poly\" of the GaN die).\nYes that's supposed to be a class-B power amplifier output stage on the wafer.space die into an impedance matching network (on consideration of the capacitive load and trying to be less wasteful, and not melting the wafer.space die).\n\nIt'd serve as PoC of the drive so that together with extensive simulation of the larger topology it should be far less risky to get someone to pay for the approximately 4-ish MW of fixed 1:2 ratio (but bidirectional current support) DC/DC converter that one would get out of a single tall-type wafer.space slice.\n(The assumed 5x parallel EPC2019 per die amount to just over 9$ per such 5 in quantity. And that's just the semiconductors for the converter; it also needs a bunch of capacitors subjected to about 1% voltage ripple at a (possibly few) dozen MHz.\nSadly not really \"cheap\" but for reference, substation transformers in that power range had 2019 pricing around 100~150 kUSD. But those are able to do higher ratios so feel free to adjust that by 4x for more comparable scale (assuming the DC/DC unit is segmented into 4 equal-power chunks with one set up for one W.S die in parallel in the stacks, and the others with 2/4/8 in parallel, to create an overall 1:16 voltage ratio).\n\nThere's a different topology for higher voltage ratios I have to look at again with the W.S driven EPC-co 200V GaN dies as assumption.\nThat's technically capable of buck-like down-regulation of operating voltage and the more complex phase-shift control would nominally give full suft-switching at least under compatible load.\n\nI had meant to try a prototype of the topology for a microwave oven to do a monolithic boost-APFC & HVDC regulator (take in grid frequency or \"alirack DC\" at European voltages, emulate an ohmic resistor to the grid, turn the power into something the magnetron likes, provide good control over magnetron output power over at least a 100:1 range with over 10 dB of PSRR at DC w.r.t. targeted output power, to have an ability for accurate radiation dose control),\n...but then I had to move and am now back on TinyTapeout MCML after I found out the project survived the efabless.", "author": { "id": "262706220073222144", "name": "namibj", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "namibj", "color": null, "isBot": false, "roles": [], "avatarUrl": "2026-05_media/f885abc0dddd0a33e4d4991b3c99091d-7ACD2.png" }, "attachments": [], "embeds": [], "stickers": [], "reactions": [], "mentions": [], "inlineEmojis": [] }, { "id": "1502929961256878160", "type": "Default", "timestamp": "2026-05-10T07:07:05.852+00:00", "timestampEdited": null, "callEndedTimestamp": null, "isPinned": false, "content": "@peterkinget @xianglin_pu Nice logo!", "author": { "id": "756011607603019777", "name": "anfroholic", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "Andrew Wingate", "color": null, "isBot": false, "roles": [ { "id": "1423020172595298314", "name": "Mod", "color": null, "position": 1 } ], "avatarUrl": "2026-05_media/67bd670a335a2f955fb2ded57088a2cb-675B3.png" }, "attachments": [ { "id": "1502929960992641144", "url": "2026-05_media/image-ABFF1.png", "fileName": "image.png", "fileSizeBytes": 2773218 } ], "embeds": [], "stickers": [], "reactions": [ { "emoji": { "id": "", "name": "\ud83d\ude03", "code": "smiley", "isAnimated": false, "imageUrl": "2026-05_media/1f603-5E531.svg" }, "count": 1, "users": [ { "id": "675149742183022602", "name": "chasees18", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "xianglin_pu", "color": null, "isBot": false, "avatarUrl": "2026-05_media/8234fabfe3c8d66f217ad798ea1d99da-69028.png" } ] }, { "emoji": { "id": "", "name": "\u2764\ufe0f", "code": "heart", "isAnimated": false, "imageUrl": "2026-05_media/2764-A3D25.svg" }, "count": 1, "users": [ { "id": "853313068871188530", "name": "peterkinget", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "peterkinget", "color": null, "isBot": false, "avatarUrl": "2026-05_media/3-FB033.png" } ] } ], "mentions": [ { "id": "675149742183022602", "name": "chasees18", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "xianglin_pu", "color": null, "isBot": false, "roles": [], "avatarUrl": "2026-05_media/8234fabfe3c8d66f217ad798ea1d99da-69028.png" }, { "id": "853313068871188530", "name": "peterkinget", "discriminator": "0000", "nickname": "peterkinget", "color": null, "isBot": false, "roles": [], "avatarUrl": "2026-05_media/3-FB033.png" } ], "inlineEmojis": [] }, { "id": "1502930910377672715", "type": "Default", "timestamp": "2026-05-10T07:10:52.14+00:00", "timestampEdited": null, "callEndedTimestamp": null, "isPinned": false, "content": "Beautiful @Tholin!!
