are gallium nitride transistors what make all the new GaN (gallium nitride) USB power delivery devices work? I have one and its awesome. Of course the gallium nitride isn't being used for a microprocessor in that case.
It seems to be the case. The GaN MOSFETs I am seeing on the market seem to have very good power characteristics, much better than the silicon stuff so I am not surprised to see GaN MOSFETs be used for power supplies.
