White Paper Overview

Parasitic effects can limit the performance of fast-switching GaN and SiC power converters. This white paper explores parasitic resistance, inductance and capacitance in passive components and their impact on converter behavior. Learn how accurate component characterization improves simulation accuracy and helps reduce the risk of costly redesigns. Discover the fundamentals of LCR measurements, with a practical demonstration using the R&S®LCX200 LCR meter to characterize capacitor behavior across frequency and operating conditions.
