Wise-integration and Leadtrend introduce GaN SiP

SiP Includes Wise-integration’s 650V e-mode GaN transistor and Leadtrend’s silicon flyback controller
Wise-integration, a French pioneer in digital control of GaN and GaN ICs for power supplies, and Leadtrend Technology, a specialist in analogue and analogue-digital mixed-mode IC designs, have released a GaN system-in-package (SiP) supporting consumer electronics applications.
The collaboration’s targeted application is a 65W USB PD adapter for high-speed charging of smartphones, laptops and other devices. The LD966LGQALVE includes Leadtrend’s silicon die flyback controller and Wise-integration’s 650V e-mode 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.
The LD966L is green-mode PWMIC built-in with brown-in/out functions of a QFN8X8 package. It minimises 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 minimise 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.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
