Compact design of DC/DC converter with new STi2GaN solution

ST, following its historical leadership position in Smart Power Technologies, is introducing the new STi ² GaN Product Family for both 100V and 650V Voltage clusters: System in package with Si controller and Monolithic approach integrating the power stage with driver and protections will produce two main product clusters that, combined with proper packaging, will allow best ever application performances including a significant improvement for high efficiency and low emission rates. Using the example of a new monolithic H-Bridge designed for automotive 48V-12V DC/DC converter, this paper illustrates how STi ² GaN technology aids the design of high-density power converter.
