Cambridge GaN Devices to exhibit at Electronica
UK-based Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD), formed in 2016, will exhibit at Electronica (November 12-15, Munich, Germany) for the second time in the company's history.
Andrea Bricconi, chief marketing officer said: “Since our first appearance at Electronica, CGD has made remarkable steps. We have introduced our P2 series ICeGaN ICs that feature RDS(on) levels down to 25 mΩ, supporting multi kW power levels with the highest efficiency. We have announced a deal with TSMC, the leading IC fabrication house in the world which ensures quality and supply of our innovative power devices."
She added: "Also, studies by leading academic research establishment, Virginia Tech University, have demonstrated that our ICeGaN GaN technology is more reliable and robust than other GaN platforms. GaN is now available for use at higher power levels, and at Electronica we are expecting to meet with designers who are eager to take advantage of the efficiency and power density benefits that GaN can bring to their latest designs.”
During the show, CGDAt Electronica, CGD will show a number of demos that employ ICeGaN. These include: 3 kW totem-pole PFC evaluation board; high and low power QORVO motor drive evaluation kits developed in collaboration with CGD and utilising ICeGaN; half-bridge and full-bridge evaluation boards, plus an ICeGaN in parallel evaluation board; single leg of a 3-phase 800 V automotive inverter demo board, developed in partnership with French public R&I institute, IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN); ICeGaN vs discrete GaN circuits comparison in half bridge (daughter cards) demo board; and finally a high-density USB-PD adaptor developed with Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Taiwan
CGD's CTO and co-founder, Florin Udrea will feature in two presentations. He will join a panel of GaN experts for 'SiC & GaN Technologies - Exploring Advancements, Addressing Challenges' moderated by Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio, editor-in-chief, Power Electronics News. At the Power Electronics Forum he will present ' ICeGaN as a smart high voltage platform for high power industrial and automotive applications'.
