Cambridge GaN Devices to Unveil its Next-Gen ICeGaN HEMT at PCIM Europe 2023

Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD), the fabless, clean-tech semiconductor company that develops a range of energy-efficient GaN-based power devices to make greener electronics possible, will reflect the company’s successful transition from start-up to scale-up with a significantly increased presence at PCIM Europe 2023, the world’s largest conference and exhibition devoted to power electronics.

The company will unveil the next generation of its ICeGaN™ HEMT family, detail significant innovations that support dual claims concerning ease of use and ruggedness, and provide a full suite of demos.

“The world is eager for GaN to play a leading role in increasing sustainability in many aspects of our lives. CGD is playing a leading role in this movement, by delivering GaN devices that are the easiest to use, while at the same time, being the most rugged and reliable. PCIM is an excellent stage for CGD to prove these statements, and we encourage every visitor to challenge us with their latest designs and application”, said Giorgia Longobardi, Chief Executive Officer, CGD

Longobardi is scheduled to introduce the new HEMT family during a presentation titled "CGD Introduce Next Level of Energy Savings, Robustness & Reliability for 650V GaN with New ICeGaN™ Family of SoC Solutions" on the Exhibitor Stage (9.551) on Thursday, May 11th, from 11:15 to 11:35 am.

Additionally, CGD will exhibit data from Virginia Tech and other innovations that demonstrate the durability and dependability of their technology at booth 7.372. The presentation will provide designers with insights on how to evaluate CGD's ICeGaN HEMTs without requiring alterations to their current board designs. A full range of demos includes:

  1. 65W, 240 m? QRF evaluation board using new ICeGaN devices that support CGD’s claims of robustness and dv/dt immunity
  2. An active live demo of the QRF reference design connected to power meters will compare the new CGD HEMTs with those of a competitor
  3. A 350W, 55m? PFC2 demo will show the levels of monolithic integration that ICeGaN permits
  4. 100W PFC and QRF reference design, developed with JVD as an exemplar of the collaboration and partnerships CGD is forging with international partners who are leaders in their fields.

Andrea Bricconi, Chief Commercial Officer, CGD quoted, “CGD has all the elements in place – technology, products, manufacturing, infrastructure, distribution – to ensure that we can support the burgeoning GaN market. We are ready to deliver our ICeGaN HEMTs in mass production quantities for all markets, and we are confident that PCIM is the perfect showcase for us.”
