STMicroelectronics has introduced a new family of ST Intelligent and Integrated Gallium Nitride (GaN) solutions, STi2GaN, an innovative and unique offering combining power and intelligence in compact, high-performance solutions required by the automotive industry.
According to the company, the new solution will help the automotive industry in its shift to electrified platforms.
The STi2GaN family combines a monolithic power stage and drivers and protections in GaN technology and System-in-Package (SiP) solutions. It is suitable for application-specific ICs with additional processing and control circuitry. The STi2GaN solutions use ST’s innovative bond-wire-free packaging technology to improve robustness, reliability, and performance.
Alfio Russo, Group VP and GM Low Voltage and STi2GaN Solutions Macro Division, STMicroelectronics, said, the initial offering of STi2GaN solutions suit On-Board Chargers, LiDAR for autonomous driving, bidirectional DC-DC converters, Class-D amplifiers and power conversion systems. The new product family aims to leverage the high-power density and efficiency of GaN to offer an industry-unique range of devices in 100V and 650V clusters ensuring scalability, compactness, and outstanding performance.
