With the advent of eGaN® FETs and ICs, the desired performance becomes possible with simple, small circuits at low costs. Three of the most popular FETs for LiDAR are the EPC2036, EPC2016C and the EPC2001C, shown in figure 2. The greatly improved performance of eGaN FETs versus older silicon MOSFET technology translates to much faster switching for a given peak current capability, enabling currents >100 A and pulse widths
