GS66508T

650V Enhancement Mode GaN Transistor

The GS66508T is an enhancement mode GaN-on-silicon power transistor. The properties of GaN allow for high current, high voltage breakdown and high switching frequency. GaN Systems implements patented Island Technology® cell layout for high-current die performance & yield. GaNPX® packaging enables low inductance & low thermal resistance in a small package. The GS66508T is a top-side cooled transistor that offers very low junction-to-case thermal resistance for demanding high power applications. These features combine to provide very high efficiency power switching.

  • Ultra-low FOM Island Technology® die
  • Low inductance GaNPX® package
  • Easy gate drive requirements (0 V to 6 V)
  • Transient tolerant gate drive (-20 / +10V )
  • Very high switching frequency (> 100 MHz)
  • Fast and controllable fall and rise times
  • Reverse current capability
  • Zero reverse recovery loss
  • Small 7.0 x 4.5 mm2 PCB footprint
  • Dual gate pads for optimal board layout
  • RoHS 6 compliant

EVALUATION BOARD: GS665MB-EVB

650 V Universal Motherboard

This universal motherboard can be used with daughter cards (sold separately) to evaluate the entire GaN Systems 650 V family of GaN E-HEMT products.

COMPATIBLE WITH:

  • GS66508B-EVBDB
  • GS66508T-EVBDB2
  • GS66516T-EVBDB2

EVALUATION BOARD: GS66508T-EVBDB2

650 V GaN E-HEMT Daughter Board

This product requires a motherboard (GS665MB-EVB)

The GS66508T-EVBDB daughter board consists of two GaN Systems 650V GaN Enhancement-mode HEMTs (part number GS66508T) and all necessary circuits including half bridge gate drivers, isolated power supplies and optional heatsink to form a functional half bridge power stage. It allows users to easily evaluate the GaN E-HEMT performance in any half bridge-based topology, either with the universal motherboard or the users’ own system design.

  • Serves as a reference design and evaluation tool as well as deployment-ready solution for easy insystem evaluation
  • Vertical mount style with height of 35mm, which fits in majority of 1U design and allows evaluation of GaN E-HEMT in traditional through-hole type power supply board
  • Current shunt position for switching characterization testing
  • Universal form factor and footprint for all products

Created in partnership with Broadcom, featuring the ACPL-P346 Gate Drive optocoupler for driving high speed GaN transistors
