Abstract
The recent improvement in semiconductor devices has led to higher efficiency and power density. SiC and GaN offer higher switching frequencies and lower losses; however, the knowledge of the behavior of these devices is not mature. In this paper, a system for fast charging of batteries for electric vehicles based on an isolated DC-DC converter equipped with both SiC and GaN devices is presented, and an experimental comparison among these two technologies will be given in terms of dynamic performances, electromagnetic compatibility, stability, efficiency.
