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.
