Power Supply / Management Semiconductors D-mode FETS semiconductor SMD SuperGaN TRANSPHORMTRANSPHORM Six SuperGaN D-mode FETs (field-effect transistors) are pin-to-pin compatible with E-mode devices. The surface-mount devices (SMDs) are available in industry-standard PQFN 5×6 and 8×8 packages. Devices deliver the reliability and performance advantages offered by firm’s patented SuperGaN depletion-mode (D-mode) two-switch normally-off platform in the package configurations typically used by competing E-mode GaN devices. As a result, the six devices can serve as a first design source or as pin-to-pin drop-in replacements and/or secondary sources for enhancement-mode (E-mode) GaN solutions. For power systems that require additional thermal performance from the SuperGaN platform, firm also offers SMDs in optimized performance packages.
