Transphorm to Rev Up High Voltage GaN Industry at APEC 2017


Transphorm Inc., the leader in the design and manufacturing of JEDEC-qualified 650V GaN (gallium nitride) semiconductors, highlights its comprehensive presence at the 2017 Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC). Transphorm's core commitment to quality and reliability will be demonstrated in all event activities, from company and customer product showcases to educational presentations. [Booth #824]

APEC attendees will learn how the company's GaN material and device configuration lead to high voltage power system innovations and benchmark-setting efficiencies. Further, spokespeople will be available to explain the rigorous, extensive testing Transphorm conducts to ensure its FETs deliver the highest quality, reliability and lifetime performance possible today.

APEC INITIATIVES

Breaking News: An APEC-timed portfolio expansion announcement will mark yet another GaN industry milestone driven by Transphorm.

Customer Product Launch: Transphorm is honored to host a customer's first public look at an innovative switch-mode power supply design solution. This solution will enable engineers to integrate a GaN-powered solution into their applications in an unprecedented manner, helping to bridge knowledge gaps as well as reduce design time.

Speaking Engagements:

Transphorm will present two sessions during APEC:





Presentation:     How to Design with GaN in Under an Hour
Speaker: Philip Zuk, Sr. Director, Technical Marketing
Date/Time: Wednesday, March 29 @ 10:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Location: Room 21
 

Presentation:     Preventing GaN Device VHF Oscillation Using a Drain Ferrite Bead
Speaker: Zan Huang, Director, Field Applications, U.S. and Asia
Date/Time: Thursday, March 30 @ 10:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

Time subject to change

Location: Room 15/16
 

Customer Displays: Transphorm customer solutions currently in production will be displayed, such as:

  • The first AC-DC front-end switch-mode power supply implementing bridgeless totem-pole PFC topology
  • The first GaN-based redundant power supply demonstrating performance and size efficiencies outpacing those of incumbent tech

Showcase: In addition to GaN modules and discretes in various packages, Transphorm will host static and live demonstrations of high voltage GaN system development and device innovations.

Additional Booth Presence: Digi-Key Electronics [Booth #537] will showcase Transphorm's new 2.5kW Half-Bridge Evaluation Board.
