Infineon unveiled the 2015 application power electronics conference with a combination of energy-efficient enhancement mode and cascode-configured silicon substrate GaN platform

Infineon Technologies AG has recently expanded its silicon-based gallium nitride (GaN) technology and product lineup, marking a significant step forward in power semiconductor innovation. The company now offers enhanced mode and cascaded GaN platforms designed for ultra-high-performance applications, including power supplies for servers, telecom infrastructure, mobile charging solutions, and consumer electronics like Class D audio systems. GaN technology enables smaller and lighter power supplies, opening new possibilities for GaN integration in products such as ultra-thin LED TVs. Andreas Urschitz, President of Power Management and Diversification Markets at Infineon, emphasized that the combination of Infineon’s silicon-based GaN portfolio with its acquisition of General Motors’ GaN platform, along with its collaboration with Matsushita Electric Co., Ltd., has solidified Infineon’s leadership in the GaN market. As part of its “from product to system” strategy, Infineon allows customers to choose between enhanced mode or cascoded GaN solutions based on their system needs. The company is also focused on developing surface mount devices (SMDs) and integrated circuits (ICs), enabling GaN to deliver superior performance in more compact designs. For example, laptop chargers could be reduced to a quarter of their current size using GaN technology. Infineon’s expanded product range includes specialized driver and controller ICs that help maximize GaN’s benefits across various topologies and higher frequencies. Through its acquisition of International Rectifier, Infineon has strengthened its patent portfolio, silicon-based GaN epitaxial processes, and 100V-600V technology. In addition, the strategic partnership with Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. has led to the development of a normally-on (enhanced mode) silicon-based GaN transistor structure combined with Infineon’s SMD packaging. This collaboration introduces an easy-to-use, energy-efficient 600V GaN power device, offering customers convenience and flexibility. Infineon provides customers with comprehensive system knowledge and one of the most extensive GaN technology portfolios in the industry. Additionally, the company offers normally-on GaN power devices in Infineon’s SMD packages, backed by advanced manufacturing processes, mass production capabilities, and secondary sourcing options. Compared to traditional silicon solutions, silicon-based GaN technology enhances power density and efficiency while reducing device size. This makes it ideal for use in consumer electronics such as TV power supplies and Class D audio amplifiers, as well as in server and telecom equipment. According to a report from IHS, the market for silicon-based GaN power semiconductors is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 50%. By 2023, the market is projected to expand from $150 million in 2014 to $800 million. At the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exhibition (APEC) in Charlotte, North Carolina, from March 15 to 19, 2015, Infineon and Matsushita Electric demonstrated 600V 70mΩ GaN device samples in DSO packages. Enhanced mode and cascode configuration devices were also on display. Customers can request samples of these devices under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Fully commercialized GaN devices with medium-voltage cascode structures are already available for Class D audio system customers.

Marine/RV Battery

The OREMA Marine/RV battery is an outstanding product in our range that consistently outperform traditional flooded, AGM batteries, and Gel batteries. They offer remarkable dual-purpose functionality, as they can provide both high energy for short-term starting and consistent power for longer-term cycling, making them versatile for various applications.

When it comes to starting performance, OREMA Marine/RV batteries excel by providing a high burst of current needed to start a vehicle's engine. This superior starting performance, even in harsh and demanding conditions, is a testament to their quality, reliability, and efficiency.

 

In terms of cycling performance, these batteries demonstrate exceptional ability. A battery's cycling performance refers to its capacity to go through multiple charge and discharge cycles without losing its ability to hold a charge. OREMA Marine/RV batteries, in this context, excel by retaining their capacity to hold and deliver power effectively even after numerous cycles. This superior cycling performance allows these batteries to deliver reliable power over a more extended period, making them ideal for applications that require consistent power delivery.

What sets OREMA Marine/RV batteries apart is their exceptional tolerance of a wide ambient temperature range. They remain unfazed and efficient, whether in scorching summer heat or freezing winter conditions. This temperature resilience makes them suitable for use in various climates and conditions, thereby ensuring uninterrupted and reliable performance no matter the weather.

Further bolstering their versatility and robustness is their high resistance to vibration. This is a vital feature in the boating, caravanning, and trucking world, where constant movement and bumps are part and parcel of the journey. Their vibration resistance ensures they can withstand such conditions and continue to operate optimally, making them a reliable power source in these challenging environments.

Another noteworthy feature is their capacity for Partial State of Charge (PSOC) operation. Unlike many traditional batteries that require full charging and discharging cycles, OREMA Marine/RV batteries can operate effectively even when partially charged. This flexibility means they can deliver power as needed, even if they haven't been fully charged, making them ideal for scenarios where full charging might not be possible.

 

OREMA Marine/RV batteries are versatile, as they are extensively used for a range of applications including Marine, Caravan, Boat, and Truck. This broad use-case potential further demonstrates their adaptability and efficiency. Their high performance in various vehicles and environments, their resilience in diverse weather conditions, and their ability to deliver power effectively irrespective of the charge level make them a superior choice for a wide range of applications.

The OREMA Marine/RV batteries stand as a testament to innovation, providing superior dual-purpose, starting, and cycling performance compared to traditional flooded, AGM, and Gel batteries. Their resilience against a wide range of ambient temperatures, vibrations, and ability to operate in a Partial State of Charge, combined with their broad use in Marine, Caravans, Boats, and Trucks, mark them as a remarkable choice in the realm of power solutions.
