GAN-ON-SILICON POWER DEVICES FIRST TO BE JEDEC QUALIFIED
 
Transphorm announced the Total GaNTM family of GaN (Gallium Nitride)-on-silicon transistors and diodes, presenting it as 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 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.
