Breaktrough technology for high performance power applications

ST’s GaN HEMT transistors, belonging to the STPOWER  family, bring the full performance advantages of gallium nitride to power conversion designs. These e-mode p-GaN devices deliver low conduction losses, ultrafast switching, and zero reverse recovery for small, light, and cool power conversion systems.

An outstanding RDS(on) x QG figure of merit, achieved through very low specific on-resistance per unit area combined with ultralow gate charge and intrinsic capacitances, reduces both switching and conduction losses across the operating range. This enables higher switching frequencies, smaller passive components, and advanced topologies.
