GaN Systems Inc. is showcasing three customer applications incorporating its Island Technology® devices for the first time on its stand at PCIM Europe. The customer products being displayed are finished production items, not prototypes. Each has been designed by the customer to bring the unique benefits offered by GaN Systems' broad product range of small highly-efficient, industrial-scale power switching transistors to its particular market.

DRS Technologies, a supplier of integrated products, services and support to the military and prime contractors, has designed a 2kW vehicle power inverter using GaN Systems’ GS66508P, 650V E-HEMT power switch. The vehicle power inverter achieves an impressive 92% efficiency, thanks to the advantages brought by the GS66508P’s ultra low FOM Island Technology® die in its low inductance, proprietary GaNPX™ packaging. As well as dramatically improving energy efficiency, the use of GaN Systems’ technology has reduced the inverter’s part count.

Virideon BlueSky Mast designs and builds advanced multi-purpose, portable mast platforms for military communications and surveillance. The company has designed and produced a 2KWh tactical power package using GaN Systems’ GS61008P 100V E-HEMT transistor that offers 40A continuous discharge and has 89Ah capacity.

LS Industrial Systems is a leading Korean company focused on delivering safe clean energy. On GaN Systems’ stand, PCIM visitors can see its SISPM Power Module designed around GaN Systems’ 650V 30A full bridge GS66508P.

“These three products are among thousands of innovative applications currently being readied for launch by our global customer base. “ comments Girvan Patterson, President, GaN Systems. “Our broad range of Island Technology power switching devices and our core IPs make GaN Systems’ devices easy for designers to work with, enabling leading companies around the world to harness the power of GaN and bring its benefits to industrial and consumer products ranging from solar inverters to ultra-slim TVs. GaN is real and right now and here’s the proof.”
