Reference design enables evaluation and
implementation of new GaN-based transistors and AC/DC controllers
required to take full advantage of the technical benefits of GaN
devices
ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), driving energy efficient
innovations, and power conversion specialist Transphorm, building
on their previously announced partnership to bring gallium nitride
(GaN) based power solutions to market, today announced the
introduction of the co-branded NTP8G202N (TPH3202PS) and NTP8G206N
(TPH3206PS) 600 V GaN cascode transistors and a 240 W reference
design that utilizes them.
“GaN transistors offer a performance leap for switching power
supplies and other applications where efficiency and power density
are critical,” said Paul Leonard, vice president and general
manager of the ON Semiconductor power discrete division. “As more
engineers become familiar with the benefits of gallium nitride
devices, the demand for GaN-based products will rapidly increase.
ON Semiconductor and Transphorm are working to be at the forefront
of new development and accelerate widespread adoption in the
marketplace.”
With typical on-resistances of 150 and 290 mΩ, the two new
products, NTP8G202N (TPH3202PS) and NTP8G206N (TPH3206PS), are
offered in an optimized TO-220 package for easy integration with
customers’ existing circuit board manufacturing
capabilities. Both of the 600 V products have been qualified
using JEDEC standards and are in mass production.
The NCP1397GANGEVB (TDPS250E2D2) evaluation board is
offered as a complete reference design for customers to implement
and evaluate GaN cascode transistors in their power
designs. The evaluation board offers customers a smaller
footprint and better efficiency than power supplies using
traditional devices. The boost stage delivers 98 percent efficiency
and utilizes the NCP1654 power factor correction controller. The
LLC DC-DC stage uses NCP1397 resonant mode controller to offer 97
percent full load efficiency. This performance is achieved
while running at 200+ kHz and – impressively – is also able to meet
EN55022 Class B EMC performance. Full documentation is
available at the ON Semiconductor web site.
