February 27, 2020 by Paul Shepard

GaN Systems will showcase how its leading GaN transistors are a cornerstone technology for power electronics equipment. New transistor products and power modules, reference designs and tools, and customer demonstrations in consumer electronics, industrial, and automotive industries will be on display at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) Booth 1147 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA on March 15 to March 19, 2020.

NEW SOLUTIONS

Automotive power transistors, including: 650V/60A Gen2 automotive transistors which exceed enhanced AEC-Q101 performance requirements and have lifetime results of FIT<<1; available in both top-side cooled GS-065-060-5-T-A and bottom-side cooled GS-065-060-5-B-A versions

High power modules, including: 650V/150A full-bridge module and driver; 650V/150A half-bridge IPM; and 650V/300A 3-phase module and driver

Integrated DrGaN modules, including: 100V integrated DrGaN device and 650V integrated half-bridge DrGaN power stage

NEW DESIGN TOOLS
