Texas Devices (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) has expanded its low-power gallium nitride (GaN) portfolio. This development is about to reinforce energy density, maximize system effectivity, and cut back the scale of AC/DC client electronics and industrial techniques. TI’s GaN field-effect transistors (FETs) with built-in gate drivers deal with thermal design challenges, enabling cooler adapters and extra energy in compact sizes.
Bringing Compact and Environment friendly Energy Options to Customers
Kannan Soundarapandian, common supervisor of Excessive Voltage Energy at TI, emphasised the patron demand for smaller, moveable energy adapters with environment friendly charging. This portfolio enlargement permits designers to leverage the advantages of low-power GaN expertise in on a regular basis purposes, together with cell phone and laptop computer adapters, TV energy items, and USB wall retailers. The portfolio additionally caters to industrial techniques like energy instruments and server auxiliary energy provides.
Modern GaN FETs with Built-in Gate Drivers
The brand new collection contains the LMG3622, LMG3624, and LMG3626 GaN FETs, that includes industry-leading built-in present sensing. This eliminates the necessity for exterior shunt resistors, chopping energy losses by as much as 94% in comparison with conventional circuits. This effectivity is a big stride ahead in current-sensing expertise.
Enhancing Vitality Effectivity and Simplifying Thermal Design
TI’s GaN FETs with built-in gate drivers promote quicker switching speeds, stopping adapter overheating. These gadgets allow as much as 94% system effectivity for purposes underneath 75W and over 95% for these above 75W. Designers may also shrink the scale of a typical 67-W energy adapter by as much as 50% in comparison with silicon-based options.
Optimized for Frequent AC/DC Energy Conversion Topologies
The portfolio is tailor-made for prevalent AC/DC energy conversion topologies, together with quasi-resonant flyback and totem-pole energy issue correction. This optimization helps various design wants in AC/DC energy conversion.
TI’s Dedication to GaN Manufacturing
TI boasts over a decade of funding in GaN expertise manufacturing, with an in depth international community of inner operations. With plans to internally manufacture greater than 90% of its merchandise by 2030, TI ensures reliable long-term capability for its clients.
Pricing and Availability
The LMG3622 and LMG3626 are at present obtainable in manufacturing portions, with the LMG3624 in pre-production. These are purchasable on TI.com/GaN, beginning at $3.18 for 1,000-unit orders. Obtainable in a compact package deal, the collection additionally presents analysis modules beginning at $250.
