• ST Power Devices

GaN Family – VIPerGaN50 / MasterGaN1 and ST-One Devices

The VIPERGAN50 is a high voltage converter, designed for medium power quasi-resonant ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching at switch turn-on) flyback converters, capable to provide an output power up to 50 W in wide range. It integrates a complete set of features that provide an extremely flexible and easy to use chip and helps to design a highly efficient offline power supply.

The ZVS quasi-resonant operation with the dynamic blanking time feature and the valley synchronization function, that turns on the power switch always at the valley of the drain resonance, reduces the switching losses and maximizes the overall efficiency at any input line and load condition. The advanced power management with the low quiescent helps to achieve low stand-by consumptions. The feed-forward compensation minimizes the maximum output peak power variation over the entire input voltage range.

In addition to the above functions, the device offers protection features that considerably increase end-product’s safety and reliability: the output overvoltage protection, the overtemperature protection (OTP), the overload protection (OLP), the brown-in/out protection, that set the input voltage level to power on and power off the converter and the input overvoltage protection (iOVP), that protects the system in case of an abnormal increase of the input line. All the protections are auto-restart mode.

The MASTERGAN1 is an advanced power system-in-package integrating a gate driver and two enhancement mode GaN transistors in half‑bridge configuration. The integrated power GaNs have RDS(ON) of 150 mΩ and 650 V drain‑source breakdown voltage, while the high side of the embedded gate driver can be easily supplied by the integrated bootstrap diode.

The MASTERGAN1 features UVLO protection on both the lower and upper driving sections, preventing the power switches from operating in low efficiency or dangerous conditions. The interlocking function avoids cross-conduction conditions.

The input pins extended range enables an easy interfacing with microcontrollers, DSP units or Hall effect sensors.
The MASTERGAN1 operates in the industrial temperature range, from -40 to 125°C.
The device is available in a compact 9 x 9 mm QFN package.

The ST-ONE is the world’s first digital controller embedding an Arm® Cortex® M0+ core, an offline programmable controller with synchronous rectification, and USB PD PHY in a single package. It is designed to control ZVS non-complementary active clamp flyback converters to create high-power density chargers and adapters with USB-PD interface.

The device includes an active clamp flyback controller and its HV startup on the primary side, a microcontroller and all the peripherals required to control the conversion and the USB-PD communication on the secondary side. The two sides are connected through an embedded galvanically-isolated dual communication channel. By using a novel non-complementary control technique and specifically designed power modes the device allows to reach both high efficiency and low no load power consumption.

The device is delivered with a pre-loaded firmware, which handles the power conversion and the communication protocols for USB-PD, including optional PPS and electronically-marked cable management.

A dedicated memory stores a default device configuration during factory process. The user can change or adapt this memory area to fit the final product specifications.

• 3kW high density and high efficiency telecom rectifier solution

STDES-3KWTLCP - 3 kW telecom rectifier reference design based on the STM32G474RBT6 digital power MCU

The STDES-3KWTLCP is a 3 kW AC-DC converter designed for telecom rectifier applications. This type of application requires high efficiency over the entire load operating range and across the universal mains input voltage range.

This reference design paves the way to a compact solution (up to 40 W/inch3), offering a high peak efficiency (96.3%), low THD distortion (less than 5% THD at full load), and a reduced bill of materials.

The system consists of two power stages: a bridgeless totem-pole PFC controlled by an STM32G474RBT6 and an isolating regulation stage implemented with a full-bridge LLC with zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) PWM, and synchronous rectification (SR) controlled by a second STM32G474RBT6 microcontroller.

The STDES-3KWTLCP also helps you to design an innovative topology with the latest ST power kit devices: silicon carbide MOSFETs, high-voltage MDmesh MOSFETs, STripFET MOSFETs, isolated FET drivers, and a VIPer converter.
The STDES-3KWTLCP is a fully assembled kit developed for performance evaluation only, not available for sale.
