GaN System-in-Package Targets Rapid Consumer Device Charging

­Wise-integration and Leadtrend Technology Corporation announced the release of a GaN system-in-package (SiP) supporting consumer electronics applications.

Their collaboration’s targeted application is a 65-watt USB PD adapter for high-speed charging of smartphones, laptops and other devices. The LD966LGQALVE High Voltage Multi-Mode PWM Controller of Flyback with GaN integrated includes Leadtrend’s silicon die flyback controller and Wise-integration’s 650V e-mode gallium-nitride (GaN) transistor die in a SiP. The SiP has passed 1,000 hours of operating life tests (OLT).

“This SiP enables original design manufacturers (ODM) to develop a less expensive system with fewer components, a smaller printed circuit board and faster system-development time,” said Thierry Bouchet, CEO of Wise-integration. “This collaboration also underscores Leadtrend’s confidence in the breadth and depth of our GaN expertise and the quality of our products.”

­­­The LD966L is green-mode PWMIC built-in with brown-in/out functions of a QFN8X8 package. It minimizes the component count and circuit space, and reduces overall material cost for the power applications. It features HV start, green-mode power-saving operation, soft-start functions to minimize power loss and enhances system performance.

The LD966LGQALVE Evaluation Board features an overall peak efficiency of 93.02 percent and a power density of 22.7 W/in3.  For more information, go here.
