JEDEC-Qualified 600 Volt GaN on Silicon Power Devices

May 30, 2013
Transphorm Inc. announced the Total GaN family of GaN (Gallium Nitride) on silicon transistors and diodes, establishing reportedly the world's first JEDEC-qualified 600 V GaN device platform.

The Total GaN family of GaN (Gallium Nitride) on silicon transistors and diodes from Transphorm Inc. is reportedly the world's first JEDEC-qualified 600 V GaN device platform. 

Based on Transphorm's patented, high-performance EZ-GaN 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, 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 â€" PFC (TDPS400E1A7), Daughter Board (TDPS500E0A) and Motor Drive (TDMC4000E0I) are available for rapidly benchmarking the in-circuit performance of Transphorm's products.

Transphorm's proprietary EZ- GaN platform can reduce power system size, increase energy density and deliver high efficiencies across the grid. For manufacturers looking for a low-risk roadmap to the next generation of power conversion technology, EZ-GaN provides a cost-effective, customizable and easy-to-use solution ready for commercial scale.

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.
