GaN Systems Expands Automotive Product Line

OTTAWA, Ontario, May 12, 2021 – GaN Systems, the global leader in GaN power semiconductors, announced today the expansion of its family of automotive-grade 650V transistors. The GS-065-060-5-B-A is a 60A, bottom-side cooled transistor developed for demanding high-power electric vehicle applications such as onboard chargers, traction inverters, and DC-DC converters.

The high frequency properties of GaN combined with GaN Systems’ proprietary Island Technology® layout, and GaNPX® packaging provides the high power, low loss performance required in today’s power electronics. Power engineers take advantage of GaN power transistor features to make their products 50% smaller and lighter and reduce system costs. This new product from GaN Systems features:

  • AEC-Q101 and AutoQual+™ qualified
  • Low RDS(on) (25 mΩ) and ultra-low loss figure of merit (FOM)
  • 60A IDS rating
  • Small, 11mm x 9mm PCB footprint with dual gate pads for optimal board layout

“We’re setting high benchmarks with our new automotive products and qualification testing that exceed industry standards,” said Jim Witham, CEO at GaN Systems. “Automotive is a key market for GaN Systems, where reducing battery size, extending driving range, and keeping the power electronics systems small and lightweight are all imperative to current and future EV design.”

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
