650V PowerGaN G-HEMT transistors in PowerFLAT 5x6 HV package for high efficiency power supplies

Improved energy efficiency combined with higher switching frequencies for more compact and lighter system designs

The SGT120R65AL and SGT65R65AL enhancement mode, normally off transistors feature very low specific RDS(on) per unit area, zero reverse recovery charge, and very low intrinsic capacitances for higher system power density and efficiency.

These GaN technology devices can switch far more efficiently than conventional silicon devices, with higher frequency operation allowing smaller passive components in more compact and lighter systems. Target applications include consumer equipment such as tablet and notebook adapters and wireless chargers for the SGT120R65AL, and AC-DC converters, UPS, and LED illumination for the SGT65R65AL.

E-mode GaN technology: tips for best driving
Application note

The major challenge of power electronics today is to deal with the growing need for power and efficiency improvements and at the same time, the constant pursuit of cost and size reduction. The introduction of wide band gap materials (WBG) devices moves in this direction, thanks to their electrical features and considering that Si devices have achieved their theoretical limits with the increased switching frequency.
