GaN technology for high-efficiency power solutions
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Alpha
and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL) a designer,
developer and global supplier of a broad range of power semiconductors
and power ICs, today introduced at the 2019 Applied Power Electronics
Conference (APEC) in Anaheim, CA (held March 18th - 20th) the AONV070V65G1
Gallium Nitride (GaN) 650V transistor, the initial product in the new
αGAN™ Technology platform. Due to the superior GaN technology
properties, the AONV070V65G1 is ideally suited for high efficiency and
high-density power supplies in the telecom, server, and consumer adapter
markets. These high-efficiency server power supplies are needed to
reduce cooling requirements, maximize rack area, and minimize the
associated energy cost.

This 70mOhms pure enhancement mode device is manufactured on a fully
qualified GaN-on-Si substrate technology that has > 50% smaller die
area, 10X lower gate charge (Qg), and eliminates the undesirable body
diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of traditional silicon MOSFET
technology. For designers, the ease of use provided by the αGaN™
technology is enabled by the low on-state gate leakage that allows
engineers the flexibility to drive the AONV070V65G1 with a selection of
commercially available Si MOSFET gate drivers.
The AONV070V65G1 is available in a low inductance thermally enhanced
DFN8x8 package. The package is based on an industry proven platform and
provides a large thermal pad for heat removal as well as a separate
driver sense pin for maximum controllable switching speed.
“We are very excited to release this new GaN™ technology product
platform that will enable AOS to provide customers with the next
generation of power semiconductor performance enabling system power
density and efficiencies not possible with existing silicon
technologies,” said David Sheridan, Sr. Director of Wide Bandgap Product
line at AOS.
