Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) publishes Phase-16 Reliability Report adding new findings to the extensive knowledge base on GaN reliability and mission robustness.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.— March 2024 — EPC announces the publication of its Phase-16 Reliability Report, documenting continued work using test-to-fail methodology and adding specific guidelines for overvoltage specifications and improving thermo-mechanical reliability.

宜普電源轉換公司(EPC)擴展了其抗輻射氮化鎵產品系列，新推的200 V產品用於要求嚴格的機載和其他高可靠性環境下的電源轉換解決方案，它具備超低導通電阻和極小型化等優勢。

EPC公司宣佈推出200 V、25 mΩ、80 A_Pulsed的抗輻射GaN FET EPC7007。尺寸小至5.76 mm²，其總劑量等級大於1 Mrad，綫性能量轉移（LET）的單一事件效應（SEE）抗擾度為85 MeV/(mg/cm²)。與商用eGaN FET和IC系列相同，採用芯片級封裝。 封裝元件將由EPC Space提供。

隨著數據處理基礎設施的持續快速增長，市場要求在最小的佔板面積內提供更高的功率。

New converter topologies and power transistors promise to reduce the size and boost the efficiency of supplies that will run next-generation Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms. In all the topologies with 48 V_IN, the highest efficiency comes with using GaN devices. This is due to their lower capacitance and smaller size. With recent pricing declines in GaN power transistors, the cost comparison with silicon-based converters now strongly favors GaN in all the leading-edge solutions.

In the final installment of this series, how GaN has met the requirements to displace silicon is explored. As the adoption rate of GaN explodes, it is important to remember that, while GaN has made many advancements in just a few short years, it is still far from its theoretical performance limitations and thus there are profound improvements that can continue to be achieved. In time, the performance and cost advantages of GaN-on-silicon will result in a majority of applications currently using silicon-based devices converting to the smaller, faster, cheaper, and more reliable GaN technology.
