INTEGRATED CIRCUITS New AEC qualified lidar integrated circuit from EPC
From Johanna Erbacher
Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) introduces the latest addition to its family of automotive qualified transistors and integrated circuits offering higher performance and smaller solution size for time-of-flight (ToF) lidar applications including robotics, drones, 3D sensing, and autonomous cars.
EPC announces the introduction of the EPC2221, a common source dual gallium nitride FET rated at 100 V, 58 mΩ, and 20 A pulsed current. The FET can be used in lidar systems for robots, surveillance systems, drones, autonomous cars, and vacuum cleaners.
The low inductance and capacitance of the EPC2221 allows fast switching (100 MHz) and narrow pulse widths (2 ns) for high resolution and high efficiency. Additionally, the ultra-small size of 1.35 mm x 1.35 mm reduces PCB cost and total solution size.
The EPC2221 is the latest addition to a growing family of GaN transistors and integrated circuits designed to meet the performance and reliability standards of demanding automotive applications. The EPC2221 has completed rigorous automotive AEC Q101 qualification testing including humidity testing with bias (H3TRB), high temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling (TC), as well as several other tests.
In addition to lidar in demanding automotive applications, the EPC2221 is perfectly suited for high-frequency DC-DC conversion, wireless power applications, and synchronous rectification.
“This new AEC certified product is the latest addition to a growing family of EPC gallium nitride-based transistors and integrated circuits designed to enable autonomous driving and improve safety,” said Alex Lidow, CEO, and co-founder of EPC. “This new integrated circuit improves the performance while reducing size and cost for time-of-flight lidar systems.”
PCIM Europe Program Highlights
The PCIM Europe is the leading exhibition and conference for power electronics and its applications and will be held from 10 - 12 May 2022 in Nuremberg. In addition to the innovations and products of around 400 exhibitors, the extensive program of the Industry, Exhibitor and E-mobility Forum are a highlight for visitors. Parallel to the exhibition, the international conference awaits participants with around 300 presentations on latest research findings and trends in power electronics, including three keynotes on the following topics:
Hydrogen – Key Element to Achieve Net Zero CO² (10 May 2022)
Power Electronics for a Future Sustainable Society (11 May 2022)
From State of the Art to Future Development Trends of Power Supply (12 May 2022)
All forum and conference presentations are also available on demand on the digital event platform of the PCIM Europe 2022.
