At the IEEE International Power Electronics and Application Conference and Exposition (PEAC 2018) in Shenzhen, China (4-7 November), GaN Systems Inc of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (a fabless developer of gallium nitride-based power switching semiconductors for power conversion and control applications) is announcing and displaying new products and design tools and providing customer demonstrations. They include:
- The GS-065 low-current (4-11A) line which, combined with the EZDrive circuit, eliminates the need for a discrete or integrated driver, making it easy to implement and reduce system costs. This solution for sub-1kW power is suitable for applications including gaming and workstation laptop AC adapters, TV power, LED lighting, and wireless power systems.
- A 50W wireless power amplifier expands the firm’s line of solutions for wireless power transfer and charging applications that encompass 100W power amplifier and 300W power amplifier products. The new power amplifier is targeted at lower-power applications in consumer, industrial and automotive markets for items such as handheld electronics, power tools, toys, household, robots, drones and scooters.
- Two PLECS simulation models for 3-Phase Traction Inverter and Single-Phase T-Type 3-Level Inverter designs will be available on GaN Systems’ Circuit Simulation Tool. This platform helps power designers to quickly and easily tune parameters to suit their design goals and see the results in real time.
“We continue to listen to our customers and provide the industry-leading solutions they need to be successful whether they are creating high-frequency wireless products or maximizing output in a power system,” says Paul Wiener, VP of strategic marketing. “Having the right tools and resources shortens design times and increases system performance.”
Speaker sessions
During the conference, GaN Systems’ representatives are presenting in two industry sessions and one tutorial session:
- 4 November (13:45-17:15, location T8) – ‘Opportunities and Design Considerations Tutorial for GaN HEMTs in Industrial and Automotive Applications’ by Juncheng (Lucas) Lu;
- 7 November (8:30-9:00, location IS7.8.1) - ‘High Power Density Adapters with GaN’ by Leyang Yang;
- 7 November (9:00-9:30, location IS7.7.2) – ‘High Efficiency Wireless Power with GaN’ by Tiefeng Shi.
GaN Systems Cup
GaN Systems is again sponsoring the China Power Supply Society (CPSS) design competition. The GaN Systems Cup is currently underway with top engineering teams participating from leading universities throughout China. Winning teams will be announced at the awards ceremony during PEAC on 4 November.
