GaN Systems adds 8mm x 8mm PDFN-packaged 650V GaN power transistors

GaN Systems Inc of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (a fabless developer of gallium nitride-based power switching semiconductors for power conversion and control applications) has added two new 8mm x 8mm PDFN-packaged GaN power transistors to its portfolio: the GS-065-011-2-L allows users to reduce the cost per watt of delivered power in 45-150W applications; and the GS-065-030-2-L is said to be the first GaN product on the market that enables designers to get the advantages of low-cost GaN in applications up to the 3000W power level.

The new devices add to GaN Systems’ family of low-cost GaN transistors that can help designers to improve performance in efficiency, thermal management and power density with increased design flexibility and cost effectiveness to meet new demands from consumer, industrial and data-center customers, the firm adds.

The new transistors feature lower on-resistance, increased robustness and thermal performance, higher VDS(transient) rating, and an industry-standard form factor that eases customer adoption, scalability and commercialization.

The GS-065-011-2-L is a 650V, 11A, 150mΩ bottom-side-cooled transistor suitable for consumer electronics applications such as chargers and adapters (including higher-power adapter designs that benefit from the transistor’s improved thermal performance). The GS-065-030-2-L is a 650V, 30A, 50mΩ bottom-side-cooled transistor that features the lowest RDS(on) in GaN Systems’ PDFN product family. Lower RDS(on) means lower power loss and higher power rating, resulting in higher efficiency and power density. The GS-065-030-2-L is suitable for data-center, industrial and 5G applications such as telecom and server SMPS (switched-mode power supply), motor drives, energy storage systems, and bridgeless totem-pole PFC (power factor correction) solutions.

“GaN has made its mark in power electronics – in size, weight, efficiency, cost and performance – and we are proud of the advancements we have made with every new generation of products so that customers can maximize the benefits of GaN,” says GaN Systems’ CEO Jim Witham. “With these new GS-065-011-2-L and GS-065-030-2-L products, our customers can leverage the benefits that come from smaller, more efficient, and more cost-effective power electronics,” he adds.

The products are now available for purchase via GaN Systems’ distributors.
