Nexperia Gallium Nitride FETs
Nexperia Gallium Nitride FETs are designed to offer superior power efficiency and fast switching capabilities by reducing power density by reducing conduction. Gallium nitride FETs provide ease of design freedom and improved reliability in power systems. The gallium nitride FETs provide flexibility and offer superior switching performance at an operating temperature range of -55°C to +175°C. Typically gallium nitride FET is used in servo motor drives, automotive onboard-charger systems, and bridgeless totem-pole power factor correction.

Nexperia GaN FETs offer channel resistances as low as 7 milliohms, come in a wide range of packages including DFN, CCPAK, LGA, and TO-247, and they operate in temperature ranges from as low as negative 55 degrees to as high as positive 155 degrees Celsius. Depending on the application, engineers can choose from three main categories of GaN devices including low voltage e-mode that are ideal for low voltage applications, 650 volt e mode ideal for AC to DC power conversion, and 650 volt cascode ideal for EVs and other high frequency and high power applications.
