Automotive-grade 650-V GaN transistors handle 60 A

GaN Systems announced the expansion of its family of automotive-grade 650V transistors. The GS-065-060-5-B-A is a 60A, bottom-side cooled transistor developed for demanding high-power electric vehicle applications such as onboard chargers, traction inverters, and DC-DC converters.

The high-frequency properties of GaN combined with GaN Systems’ proprietary Island Technology layout, and GaNPX packaging provides the high power, low loss performance required in today’s power electronics. Power engineers take advantage of GaN power transistor features to make their products 50% smaller and lighter and reduce system costs. This new product from GaN Systems features: AEC-Q101 and AutoQual+ qualified; Low R_DS(on) (25 mΩ) and ultra-low loss figure of merit (FOM); 60A I_DS rating; Small, 11mm x 9mm PCB footprint with dual gate pads for optimal board layout;
