Power Transistor Industry Overview
The Power Transistor Market is a highly competitive market due to the presence of significant players such as Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc., Champion Microelectronics Corp, Renesas Electronics Corporation, Infineon Technologies AG, Texas Instruments Inc., NXP Semiconductors N.V., STMicroelectronics N.V., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Linear Integrated Systems Inc. and Toshiba Corporation.
- April 2022 - EPC announced the release of its product EPC2050, a 350 V GaN transistor with a maximum RDS(on) of 80 mΩ and a 26 A pulsed output current. This tiny size enables power solutions that occupy ten times less area than comparable silicon solutions. The application benefits from the fast-switching speed and small size of the EPC2050 include 120 V-150 V motor control for medical motors, DC-DC conversion from/to 120 V-160 V such as in aerospace applications, DC-DC solutions converting 400 V input to 12 V, 20 V or 48 V outputs and DC-AC inverters, multi-level converters such as Totem Pole PFC.
- March 2022 - Transphorm, Inc. and TDK-Lambda, a group company of TDK, are expanding their AC-DC GaN-based PFH500F product line. The product line includes PFH500F-12 and PFH500F-48 in TDK's 500-watt AC-DC power supplies. The series uses 72 mΩ, 8x8 PQFN GaN FETs (TP65H070LDG) from Transphorm. The power transistors high power density enabled TDK to cool the GaN power supplies via thin baseplates. Inline, TDK produced a slimmer, tightly contained power module capable of supporting a large variety of broad industrial applications operating in harsh environments. The applications include custom fanless power supplies, laser, 5G communication, signaling, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) power supplies, digital signage/displays, etc.
