GaN solutions for next-generation EV platforms
As electric vehicles push boundaries in efficiency, charging speed, and power density, CGD’s ICeGaN® technology delivers a competitive edge. From on-board chargers (OBCs) to DC-DC converters and traction inverters, ICeGaN® enables EV system designers to achieve greater range, faster charging, and superior light-load efficiency while reducing overall system cost and size.
Combo ICeGaN® for Traction Inverter
CGD proudly presents a breakthrough technology "Combo ICeGaN®" for EV traction inverters: ICeGaN® reduces the loss at light load and offers the intelligent sensing, control and protection with the monolithic integrated circuits while Si IGBT handles the full load/peak current and protects the ICeGaN from over-voltage and over-load/short circuit. Bring Combo ICeGaN to your inverter applications means
- Higher efficiency, longer range: ICeGaN® outperforms SiC and IGBT at high-frequency operations.
- Higher power density: enhancing the motor’s performance, reliability and efficiency
- Reliability: ICeGaN® offers the intelligent sensing, control and protection with the monolithic integrated circuits
- Easy integration: ICeGaN® simplifies the migration from traditional 2-level full IGBT approach
- Competitive cost: ~40% cost saving vs existing SiC solutions
