We Have witnessed that each generation of power devices triggered a renovation in power conversion in the past decades. Wide bandgap (WBG) power devices,as the new generation of power devices, will undoubtedly make great changes to today’s power conversion system. Actually, they are now establishing new benchmarks in various applications benefiting from their higher switching frequency,higher power density, and higher efficiency. A broad consensus has been reached that power integration technology should be employed to fully explore the potential of WBG devices.Simultaneously, the characteristics of WBG devices also create a great chance for integration. However, many issues need to be addressed on the WBG-enabled power integration road,including device modeling, gate driving techniques, device and module packaging, and application-oriented integration schemes. Magnetics and capacitors also play a key role in power integration. Their power loss, operating temperature,and integration scheme with active devices also fall in the research interests.
