Nexperia’s expanded GaN FET portfolio now supports a wider range of power requirements in low and high voltage applications

Latest additions ensure Nexperia retains the industry’s broadest GaN FET offering

Nexperia today announced the addition of 12 new devices to its continuously expanding e-mode GaN FET portfolio. This latest release is intended to address the growing demand for higher efficiency and more compact systems. The new low and high-voltage e-mode GaN FETs address multiple markets including consumer, industrial, server/computing and telecommunications, with a particular focus on supporting high-voltage, low to mid-power and low-voltage, low to high-power use cases. Since introducing e-mode GaN FETs in 2023, Nexperia remains the only supplier in the industry to offer both cascode or d-mode and e-mode devices, providing designers with convenience when faced with variable challenges during the design process.

The latest additions to Nexperia’s e-mode GaN FET portfolio include new low voltage 40 V bi-directional devices (R_DSon<12 mΩ) to support overvoltage protection (OVP), load switching, and low-voltage applications including battery management systems (BMS) in mobile devices, and laptop computers. Also featuring in this release are 100 V and 150 V devices (R_DSon<7 mΩ) suitable for synchronous rectification (SR) power supplies in consumer devices, DC-DC converters in datacomms and telecoms equipment, photovoltaic micro-inverters, Class-D audio amplifiers and motor control systems in e-bikes, forklifts and light electric vehicles (LEVs). The new higher voltage range features 700 V devices (R_DSon>140 mΩ) to support LED drivers and power factor correction (PFC) applications, and 650 V devices (R_DSon>350 mΩ) suitable for use in AC/DC converters.

The superior switching performance of Nexperia’s e-mode GaN FET technology is due to their exceptionally low Q_G and Q_OSS values. These new devices offer industry-leading figures of merit (FOM), making them a top choice for high-efficiency power solutions.
