Midterm 1 (10%):
Based on "Problem
Defining" Pedagogy
Write your own
midterm NICELY and print it;
come to the lecture room
to answer your
questions.
The questions should be
enough to be answered in
80 minutes. You decide
on the number and size
of the questions.
Your
questions should clearly reflect
the engineering design
process. They must be
based on real life
applications.
80% of the total mark
goes to the quality of
your questions.
Recommended to base entirely on your project. |

Edward MacRobbie, Director
Engineering GaN Systems
DATE: November
9th 2017
TIME: Refreshments,
Registration and Networking: 18:00;
Seminar: 18:30
– 20:00. PLACE: Algonquin

Abstract - Gallium
Nitride Power Transistor adoption for power
applications has grown in both adoption rates and
acceptance.
In this talk, the speaker will present an overview
of GaN System’s GaN e-HEMT technology, it’s products
and example applications highlighting how GaN Power
Transistors can and do revolutionize power
conversion products.
Speaker’s Bio
Edward MacRobbie is
presently the Director Engineering at GaN Systems,
Ottawa. Edward has over twenty-five years of Analog
and RF semiconductor design and managerial
experience. Originally from Ottawa, with a local
career start at BNR, Edward has held managerial
positions in a broad range small to mid-sized
companies with campuses in Canada, the United States
and France. Previously a VP Engineering at Mindspeed
Technologies High Performance Analog BU, a Senior
Director RFIC, at Skyworks Solutions and a site
Director at Philsar Electronics, Edward now focuses
his energies on GaN Systems’ next generation e-HEMT
Power Transistor products.
