What is a gallium nitride charger? What is the difference with ordinary chargers?
With the booming development of the mobile phone era, more and more peripheral products have entered the stage of accelerated development. From the past, we needed to spend half a day to fully charge the mobile phone, now it only takes more than ten minutes. More and more mobile phone charging devices have become the choice of consumers. The newly launched gallium nitride charger is also eye-catching. It not only has a more efficient charging capacity, but also has a much smaller volume than traditional chargers. What is its charm?
1. What is gallium nitride?
Gallium nitride is a new type of semiconductor material that is currently used more frequently. It has the characteristics of large width, high thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, etc. It can play a very important role in the new energy vehicle market, rail transportation, smart grid and semiconductor lighting. At the same time, as a third-generation semiconductor material, it has many unexplored use areas in the process of development and use. It can be widely used in our mobile phone market, but it has not been widely promoted in the application process. Therefore, in the future, this semiconductor material product will also be able to be more applied to the market.
According to the current market situation, we can know that the main electronic material we use is silicon. This raw material has been very popular since the development of mobile phones. However, as the use limit of silicon is constantly approaching, and the development of this raw material has reached a bottleneck period, a new semiconductor material is needed to replace it. For this reason, the discovery of gallium nitride has become the best alternative.
2. Advantages of gallium nitride
Gallium nitride is mainly composed of two elements, Ga and N. Both elements have very high hardness and can still maintain a stable state at a high melting point of 1700℃. It will not be melted by high temperature. Secondly, gallium nitride is a wide bandgap semiconductor. This means that it can still have a very good performance under high temperature and high radiation. At the same time, it can also increase the migration rate of saturated electrons. Compared with raw materials such as silicon, it has better electron conversion efficiency, so it can achieve a greater charging effect during use.
The reason why the size of the gallium nitride charger is small is that it has a small dielectric constant. The dielectric constant is used to measure the charge carrying capacity of the device itself. The smaller this value is, the less capacitance it can carry under the same area, which means that its overall volume will be much smaller than the same type of material.
3. The difference between gallium nitride chargers and ordinary chargers
Since gallium nitride itself has the advantages of high temperature resistance, radiation protection and small size, how is it different from ordinary traditional chargers? In fact, the most headache for many traditional chargers for consumers is that they are very inconvenient to carry. In addition, the screen of mobile phones is relatively large now, and the space occupied is also larger than in the past. If you try to use a charger with the same large size, it will cause trouble for consumers, and the gallium nitride charger just solves this pain point.
As a new type of semiconductor material, it can achieve small size and great performance after being made into a charger. It can not only charge two mobile phones and a laptop at the same time, but also improve the transmission efficiency and save time cost. Compared with the large size and slow charging efficiency of traditional chargers, gallium nitride chargers have indeed been favored by many consumers.
As far as the current market is concerned, the cost of using gallium nitride is still relatively high, but in the future market applications, it will surely become an irreplaceable product. From the design of mobile phones in the past to the design of mobile phone bodies today, every technological advancement has led to the replacement and upgrading of our products. The same is true for gallium nitride chargers. I believe that after this material is widely used in the future, it will not only greatly enhance people’s happiness in charging, but also reduce people’s worries about carrying multiple chargers when going out. Therefore, after gallium nitride chargers are widely used, I believe they will get good market feedback.
