Transphorm Releases First JEDEC-Qualified 600V GaN-on-Silicon Power Devices
Transphorm Inc. today announced the Total GaNTM family of GaN (Gallium Nitride) on silicon transistors and diodes, establishing the world’s first JEDEC-qualified 600 V GaN device platform. This marks a significant milestone in the broad adoption of GaN-based power electronics in power supplies and adapters, PV inverters for solar panels, motor drives, as well as power conversion for electric vehicles. Based on Transphorm’s patented, high-performance EZ-GaNTM technology, the TPH3006PS GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) combines low switching and conduction losses to reduce energy loss by 50 percent compared to conventional silicon-based power conversion designs.

The TO-220-packaged GaN transistor features low on-state resistance (RDS(on)) of 150 milliohms (mΩ), low reverse-recovery charge (Qrr) of 54 nanocoulombs (nC) and high-frequency switching capability — all of which result in more compact, lower cost systems. Also available in industry-standard TO-220 packages, the TPS3410PK and TPS3411PK GaN diodes offer 6-A and 4-A operating currents, respectively, with a forward voltage (Vf) of 1.3 Volts. In addition, three application kits — PFC (TDPS400E1A7), Daughter Board (TDPS500E0A) and Motor Drive (TDMC4000E0I) — are available for rapidly benchmarking the in-circuit performance of Transphorm’s products.
“Solidifying its leadership position in high-voltage GaN power conversion solutions, Transphorm has accomplished the first qualification of 600V GaN devices on silicon substrates,” said Primit Parikh, President of Transphorm. “This is critically important because it allows manufacturers to access the energy savings from our GaN transistor and diode products with the cost benefits of silicon. The introduction of the Total GaN family dispels the myth that qualification of high-voltage GaN on silicon is not possible, and enables the introduction of new power products in the marketplace that are dramatically more efficient compared to silicon-based products. Transphorm is today driving the next power standard.”

For approved customers, the TPH3006PS HEMT device is available for sale at a price of $5.89 each in 1,000 quantities. The TPS3410PK and TPS3411PK diodes are priced at $2.06 and $1.38, respectively, also in 1,000-piece quantities.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
