]]> 5303 GaNPower releases TO247-4 based high current power switches https://iganpower.com/ganpower-releases-to247-4-based-high-current-power-switches Fri, 05 Jan 2024 01:23:26 +0000 https://iganpower.com/?p=5256 We at GaNPower are pleased to announce the release of a new class of engineering samples of high voltage (nominal 650V and 1200V) GaN power switches based on the TO247-4 package. Up to a maximum rated current of 120A (12 mOhm), some of these switches include driver IC intended to be driven by digital signal while others include a monolithically integrated input regulator circuit*. The ones with regulator are regarded as an upgraded discrete GaNFET such that their lead arrangement, input gate threshold voltage (Vgth=2.7V) and gate voltage driving range (Vg=-20V to 20V) match existing SiC MOSFET**. Such power switches are called P2P-GaN devices so that it can match existing SiC MOSFET in a pin to pin (P2P) fashion. Our initial double pulse test indicate that such 1200V TO247-4 devices can switch cleanly at half of its rated maximum current up to bus voltage of 1000V at up to 500kHz, making them suitable for application with bus voltage between 800-1000V. Potential customers are encouraged to contact us for engineering samples and app notes.

* The P2P regulator circuit is patent pending.
** Although safe to drive Vg from -20 to 20V, the current version of P2P-GaN generates some heat loss when Vg is high. Best to limit the Vg to be below 10V if possible.

]]> 4934 Release of new GaNPowerIC: GPIRG15DFV https://iganpower.com/release-of-new-ganpoweric-gpirg15dfv Wed, 21 Dec 2022 17:24:57 +0000 https://iganpower.com/?p=4806 GaNPower International (GPI) is pleased to announce the release of a new GaNPowerIC: GPIRG15DFV. Rated at 85mOhm/900V, this all-GaN IC is suitable for 400V or 600V DC bus power switching.
This power IC monolithically integrates a fast GaN based driver with an easy-to-use regulated PWM input and auxiliary power supply. Common Emode GaNFET or IC is known to have the disadvantage of small gate voltage (6-7V) which makes it incompatible with silicon based drivers and controllers.
GPI patented technology allows an internal regulator to accept larger PWM input (10-15V) and wider auxiliary power supply range (8-30V).
