Ancora’s double-side-cooling GaN FET demonstrates robustness and long-term reliability
Fabless design company Ancora Semiconductor Inc (an affiliate of Taiwan-headquartered power supply maker Delta Electronics Inc) recently passed a series of rigorous DMTBF (demonstrated mean time between failures) tests for its double-sided-cooling gallium nitride (GaN) field-effect transistor. These tests have verified that Ancora components can maintain superior performance over long periods (200,000 hours), highlighting the high reliability and dependability of its products. The product line has been incorporated into the XPG FUSION 1600W Titanium-grade power supply developed in collaboration with Delta Electronics and ADATA Technology Co Ltd.
Ancora says that its FET-E6007PD020 dual-sided heat dissipation component not only facilitates top-side heat dissipation applications but also features characteristics such as reduced electrical-thermal coupling risks and enhanced heat dissipation efficiency. Its patented dual-sided heat dissipation structure effectively separates electrical and thermal elements, further addressing heat conduction issues in high-power products.
Furthermore, its unique packaging structure reduces parasitic inductance, enhancing the efficiency of power products and demonstrating superior performance in high efficiency, high density, high frequency and temperature control, it is claimed. The product line’s performance is said to meet the demands of advanced applications such as servers, AI (artificial intelligence), high-performance computing, medical and networking.
“Leveraging GaN's outstanding physical characteristics, we can achieve high efficiency and miniaturization,” says general manager Dr TK Shing. “In addition to the FET-E6007PD020, a 650V dual-sided heat dissipation GaN device, Ancora Semiconductor will continue to expand its product line, offering a variety of GaN devices to meet different design requirements,” he adds.
“The DMTBF test results demonstrate the reliability and stability of Ancora products, enabling higher power density and more robust energy-saving effects,” comments Ares Chen, general manager of Delta Electronics’ Power and System Business Group. “We look forward to Ancora launching more products and continuing to accelerate collaboration in high-power power supply units.”
