ST introduces GaN product family for automotive applications

STMicroelectronics of Geneva, Switzerland has launched a new family of ST intelligent and integrated gallium nitride (GaN) solutions. STi2GaN combines power and intelligence in compact, high-performance solutions required by the automotive industry as it shifts to electrified platforms.

Building on ST’s automotive experience, innovations in smart power technology, wide-bandgap semiconductor materials and packaging expertise, the STi2GaN family combines a monolithic power stage along with drivers and protections in GaN technology as well as system-in-package (SiP) solutions for application-specific ICs with additional processing and control circuitry. The STi2GaN solutions use ST’s novel bond-wire-free packaging technology to provide what is claimed to be high robustness, reliability and performance.

“Initial offering of STi2GaN solutions suit on-board chargers, LiDAR [light detection & ranging] for autonomous driving, bidirectional DC-DC converters, Class-D amplifiers and power conversion systems,” says Alfio Russo, group VP & general manager Low Voltage and STi2GaN Solutions Macro Division, at STMicroelectronics. “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 that ensure scalability, compactness, and outstanding performance.”

ST says that it is already engaged with key partners.
