Transphorm’s TOLL package configuration is industry standard, meaning the SuperGaN TOLL FETs can be used as drop-in replacements for any e-mode TOLL solution.

Key Points: 
  • Transphorm’s TOLL package configuration is industry standard, meaning the SuperGaN TOLL FETs can be used as drop-in replacements for any e-mode TOLL solution.
  • The new devices also offer Transphorm’s proven high voltage dynamic (switching) on-resistance reliability that is generally lacking in leading foundry-based e-mode GaN offerings.
  • The three surface mount devices (SMDs) support higher power applications operating within an average range of 1 to 3 kilowatts.
  • Transphorm’s high power GaN devices are already widely supplied to leading customers who use them to power in-production high performance systems including datacenter power supplies, high power gaming PSUs, UPSes, and microinverters.

Transphorm, Inc. (Nasdaq: TGAN), a global leader in robust GaN power semiconductors, announced the publication of its latest white paper titled The Fundamental Advantages of D-Mode GaN in Cascode Configuration.

Key Points: 
  • Transphorm, Inc. (Nasdaq: TGAN), a global leader in robust GaN power semiconductors, announced the publication of its latest white paper titled The Fundamental Advantages of D-Mode GaN in Cascode Configuration.
  • The paper provides a brief tutorial on the inherent benefits delivered by a cascode (normally-off) d-mode GaN platform.
  • The paper demonstrates several key advantages achieved by the normally-off d-mode GaN platform including:
    Easily operating at higher power levels: higher saturation current with Transphorm d-mode, whereas e-mode must be paralleled to achieve same amps (which causes reduced power density and reliability).
  • Normally-off d-mode GaN or e-mode,” said Philip Zuk, SVP, Business Development and Marketing, Transphorm.

Transphorm, Inc. (Nasdaq: TGAN)—a global leader in GaN, the future of next generation power systems—released details on a high-performance, low-cost driver solution .

Key Points: 
  • Transphorm, Inc. (Nasdaq: TGAN)—a global leader in GaN, the future of next generation power systems—released details on a high-performance, low-cost driver solution .
  • Unlike competing e-mode GaN solutions that require custom drivers or level shifting circuitry with gate protection devices, Transphorm’s SuperGaN® FETs are known for easy drivability given they pair with off-the-shelf drivers.
  • The newly defined solution uses a high-speed, non-isolated, high-voltage half-bridge gate driver that further reduces total system cost without affecting the GaN FET’s or system’s performance.
