GaN Systems launches 60A GaN power transistor

Power switch with top side cooling suits high frequency, high efficiency power conversion

GaN Systems has added to its range of enhancement-mode GaN-on-Silicon transistors with the 650V GS65516T, said to provide the highest current capability on the market at 60A. 

The GS65516T power switch features GaN Systems' new proprietary top side cooling configuration announced in March this year, which allows the device to be cooled using familiar and conventional heat sink or fan cooling techniques. 

Features of the GS65516T 650V E-HEMT include reverse current capability, integral source sense and zero reverse recovery loss.  Dual gate pads help design engineers achieve optimal board layout according to the company.  

The GS65516T suits high frequency, high efficiency power conversion applications such as on-board battery chargers, 400V DC-DC conversion, inverters, uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) and VFD motor drives, AC-DC power supplies (PFC and primary) and VHF small form factor power adapters.   

"GaN is real and happening right now." says Girvan Patterson, president, GaN Systems. "Our devices boast industrial-scale power and since becoming available commercially last year, hundreds of leading companies across the globe have embraced our technology to make sure they are among the first to market with new products that bring the benefits of GaN to products ranging from solar inverters to ultra-slim TVs.  The major players are well aware that GaN device technology is a true game-changer."

GaN Systems is showing three customer applications incorporating its GaN Island Technology devices on its stand at PCIM Europe.

DRS Technologies, a supplier of integrated products, services and support to the military and prime contractors, has designed a 2kW vehicle power inverter using GaN Systems' GS66508P, 650V E-HEMT power switch.  The vehicle power inverter achieves 92 percent efficiency, and the technology has reduced the inverter's part count and is entirely passively cooled, according to the company.

Virideon BlueSky Mast designs and builds advanced multi-purpose, portable mast platforms for military communications and surveillance.  The company has designed and produced the TPS-2C 2KWh tactical power package using GaN Systems' GS61008P 100V E-HEMT transistor that offers 40A continuous discharge, 89Ah capacity, and an 98 percent peak charger efficiency

LS Industrial Systems is a Korean company focussed on delivering safe clean energy. On GaN Systems' stand, PCIM visitors can see its SISPM full bridge Power Module designed around GaN Systems' 650V 30A GS66508P.
