STMicroelectronics Introduces High-Performance GaN Family for Automotive Applications

STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving
customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has announced a
new family of ST Intelligent and Integrated Gallium Nitride (GaN) solutions,
STi2GaN. STi2GaN is an innovative and unique offering combining power and
intelligence in compact, high-performance solutions required by the
automotive industry as it shifts to electrified platforms.

Building on ST’s leadership and strong 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 high robustness, reliability, and
performance.

“STi2GaN continues ST’s long success story in compound materials and Smart
Power product innovation, targeting mainly automotive applications and the
needs of high-density, high-reliability and high-power. Initial offering of
STi2GaN solutions suit On-Board Chargers, LiDAR for autonomous driving,
bidirectional DC-DC converters, Class-D amplifiers and power conversion
systems,” said Alfio Russo, Group VP and GM Low Voltage and STI2GaN
Solutions Macro Division, 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.”
