High-Voltage GaN Load Switch for High-Reliability Applications

Teledyne e2v HiRel Electronics has released the TDGM650LS60, the first product in the company’s new 650V power module family.

This new module utilizes a Teledyne high voltage Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistor and integrates an isolated driver in one package, and is ideal for high-reliability applications in the defense, avionics and space sectors.

Designed to serve as a load switch or solid-state switch, the TDGM650LS60 offers a high level of performance and versatility. With the driver providing 5KV isolation and a GaN transistor with a minimum breakdown voltage of 650V, this module ensures robust and dependable operation in diverse environments.

One of the standout features of the TDGM650LS60 is its ultra-fast switching time coupled with the absence of moving parts. This unique combination not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly elevates the reliability of the device.

Mont Taylor, Vice President and Business Development Manager at Teledyne e2v HiRel, commented: “This launch marks a significant milestone in Teledyne’s commitment to innovation. The TDGM650LS60 represents the culmination of our dedication to pushing the boundaries of technology, offering our customers performance, reliability, and versatility in their applications.”
