Infineon Technologies expands its portfolio of Gallium Nitride (GaN) devices with the introduction of the CoolGaN Transistors 650 V G5, a new family of high-voltage discretes. This new product family’s target applications include renewable energy and motor drives in household appliances, as well as consumer and industrial switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) including USB-C adapters and charges, lighting, TVs, data centers, and telecom rectifiers.
Rapid platform redesign is made possible by the new CoolGaN generation, which is intended to be a drop-in replacement for the CoolGaN Transistors 600 V G1. In focus applications, the new devices offer better figures of merit to guarantee competitive switching performance.
The CoolGaN Transistors 650 V G5 provide up to 60% better drain-source charge (Qoss), up to 60% lower gate charge (Qg), and up to 50% less energy stored in the output capacitance (Eoss) than major rivals and earlier Infineon product lines.
These characteristics work together to produce outstanding efficiency in applications involving both hard- and soft-switching. Depending on the use case, this results in a considerable reduction in power loss of 20–60% when compared to typical silicon technology.
These benefits allow the devices to operate at high frequencies with minimal power loss, resulting in superior power density. The CoolGaN Transitors 650 V G5 enable SMPS applications to be smaller and lighter or to increase the output power range in a given form factor.
There are many different RDS(on) package combinations available in the new high-voltage transistor product line. A variety of SMD packages, including ThinPAK 5×6, DFN 8×8, TOLL, and TOLT, offer ten RDS(on) classes.
High-performance 8-inch production lines in Villach, Austria, and Kulim, Malaysia, are used to make all of the goods. CoolGaN plans to switch to 12-inch manufacturing in the future. This will allow Infineon to increase its CoolGaN capacity and guarantee a strong supply chain in the GaN power industry, which Yole Group projects will grow to $2 billion by 2029.
A demo featuring the CoolGaN Transistors 650 V G5 will be showcased at electronica 2024 in Munich from November 12 to 15 (hall C3, booth 502).
Availability
The CoolGaN Transistor 650 V G5 product family can be ordered from Infineon now, and from e-commerce distributors in the coming weeks. More information is available at www.infineon.com/gan.
