HAL
Gallium Nitride is grown on Silicon Wafers and processed using standard CMOS equipment
leveraging the infrastructure that has been developed over the last 55 years. GaN’s exceptionally
high electron mobility and low temperature coefficient allows very low R
DS(on)
, while its lateral device
structure and majority carrier diode provide exceptionally low Q
G
and zero Q
RR
. The end result is a
device that can handle tasks where very high switching frequency, and low on-time are beneficial as
well as those where on-state losses dominate.
EPC8009 eGaN FETs are supplied only in
passivated die form with solder bars
Die Size: 2.1 mm x 0.85 mm
Applications
• Ultra High Speed DC-DC Conversion
• RF Envelope Tracking
• Wireless Power Transfer
• Game Console and Industrial Movement
Sensing (LiDAR)
Benefits
• Ultra High Efficiency
• Ultra Low R
DS(on)
• Ultra Low Q
G
• Ultra Small Footprint
