Mouser ships Infineon’s CoolGaN HEMTs
For efficient, high-speed switching in compact system designs, the CoolGaN gallium nitride (GaN) high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) from Infineon Technologies feature high efficiency and power density. The CoolGaN HEMTs facilitate high-speed switching in semiconductor power supplies and are now available from distributor, Mouser Electronics.
The CoolGaN HEMTs are suitable for both hard- and soft-switching topologies, and are suitable for use in applications such as wireless charging, switched mode power supply (SMPS), telecommunications, hyperscale data centres, and servers.
The Infineon CoolGaN HEMTs offer 10 times’ lower output charge and gate charge compared to silicon transistors, as well as 10 times’ higher breakdown field and double the mobility, says Mouser. The HEMTs are optimised for turn-on and turn-off and feature new topologies and current modulation for switching. The HEMTs’ surface mount packaging ensures that switching capabilities are fully accessible and the devices’ compact design enable them to be used in applications where space is limited.
Infineon’s CoolGaN Gallium Nitride HEMTs are supported by the EVAL_1EDF_G1_HB_GAN and EVAL_2500W_PFC_G evaluation kits. The EVAL_1EDF_G1_HB_GAN board features a CoolGaN 600 V HEMT and an Infineon GaN EiceDriver gate driver IC for engineers to evaluate high-frequency GaN capabilities in the universal half-bridge topology for converter and inverter applications. The EVAL_2500W_PFC_G board includes CoolGaN 600V e-mode HEMTs, a CoolMOS C7 Gold superjunction MOSFET, and EiceDriver gate driver ICs to deliver a 2.5kW full-bridge power factor correction (PFC) evaluation tool that boosts system efficiency above 99 per cent in energy-critical applications like switched mode power supplies (SMPS) and telecomms rectifiers.
