TransphormHighest Performance, Highest Reliability GaN

Transphorm Releases 3.3-kW High-voltage Bridgeless Totem-pole Power Factor Correction GaN Reference Design

AC to DC Power System Development Simplified for Server, Automotive and Industrial Applications

Transphorm Inc. today released the first complete 3.3-kilowatt (kW) continuous conduction mode (CCM) bridgeless totem-pole power factor correction (PFC) reference design for high-voltage (HV) Gallium Nitride (GaN) power systems. The technical blueprint is used to develop AC to DC applications:

  • High-end front-end PFCs for merchant power supplies (servers, gaming, crypto mining, and similar multi-kW high density applications)
  • On-board chargers for plug in hybrid (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV)
  • Broad industrial power supplies

High efficiency products, minimal expertise required

Transphorm designs and manufactures the highest quality, highest reliability 650 V GaN platform, yielding the only JEDEC and AEC-Q101 HV GaN transistors. The reference design delivers 99 percent efficiency using Transphorm’s 3rd generation 650 V GaN FET technology (TP65H050WS – 50 mΩ on-resistance) in an industry-preferred, robust TO-247 power package.

The TDTTP3300-RD includes all the resources required to develop products quickly without the need for deep GaN design or DSP firmware coding expertise:

  • Test report
  • Hardware design guide
  • Firmware design guide (with downloadable firmware)
  • Design schematics and Gerber files
  • Bill of materials (BOM)

“As demonstrated by customer end products, Transphorm’s high Q+R devices are proven to deliver what high-voltage GaN has always promised. Increased power density, efficiency, and performance with reduced system cost,” said Philip Zuk, Vice President of Technical Marketing, Transphorm. “Now, we are helping designers quickly capitalize on those benefits by eliminating design knowledge gaps. With our 3.3-kW reference design, we’re arming the industry with a roadmap that was several years in the making. We are excited to see what system innovations will be built upon this GaN foundation.”
