Teledyne e2v HiRel releases TDGM650LS60 GaN load switch

Teledyne e2v HiRel Electronics of Milpitas, CA, USA (part of the Teledyne Defense Electronics Group that provides solutions, sub-systems and components to the space, transportation, defense and industrial markets) has released the TDGM650LS60, the first product in its new 650V power module family, which utilizes a Teledyne high-voltage gallium nitride (GaN) transistor and integrates an isolated driver in one package.

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

A feature of the TDGM650LS60 is its fast switching time coupled with the absence of moving parts. This unique combination not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly boosts the reliability of the device. As a result, the TDGM650LS60 is suitable for high-reliability applications, including but not limited to the space, avionics and military sectors.
