The CoolGaN™ 400V e-mode GaN HEMT is a derivative of the industry benchmark CoolGaN™ 600V technology. This enhancement-mode power transistor (IGT40R070D1 E8220) overcomes the technology barriers, such as linearity and power loss, by introducing zero reverse recovery charge in the body diode and very small, linear input and output capacitances. The IGT40R070D1 E8220 is optimized for class D audio amplifie r applications where it provides excellent audio experience.

400V CoolGaN™ enhancement-mode Power Transistor

The 400V CoolGaNTM family is the derivative of industry benchmark 600V CoolGaNTM technology, optimized for Class-D Audio amplifier applications.

CoolGaN™ enables smoother switching and more linear class D output stage by offering

low/linear Coss, zero Qrr, and normally-off switch. Ideal class D audio amplifiers offer zero percent distortion and 100 percent efficiency. What impairs the linearity and power loss is highly dependent on switching characteristics of the switching device. Infineons CoolGaN™ breaks through the technology barrier by introducing zero reverse recovery

charge in the body diode and very small, linear input and output capacitances.

In addition, the enhancement-mode concept offers fast turn-on and turn-off speed as well as a better path towards integration either on a chip or package level. This feature also simplifies pairing CoolGaN™ with the IRS20957SPBF class D controller and therefore

enables faster design-in and time-to-market for our customers.

CoolGaN™ for class D audio

CoolGaN™ 400 V is tailored for premium HiFi home audio, professional, and aftermarket

car audio systems where end users demand every detail of their high-resolution soundtracks. These have been conventionally addressed by bulky linear or tube amplifiers. With CoolGaN™ 400 V as class D output stage, audio designers are able to deliver the best listening experience to their prospective audio fans.

Infineons CoolGaN™ 400 V device, IGT40R070D1 E8220 in HSOF-8-3 (TO-leadless) package has been tested in class D audio amplifier applications on 200 W + 200 W dual channel system designs. Please refer to EVAL_AUDAMP24 for more details.

IRS20957SPBF + IGT40R070D1 E8220评估板EVAL_AUDAMP24

The EVAL_AUDAMP24 GaN e-mode High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) evaluation board is a two-channel, 225 W/ch (4 Ω at ±43 V) or 250 W/ch (8 Ω at ±63 V) half-bridge class D audio power amplifier for Hi-Fi audio systems. This evaluation board demonstrates how to use the CoolGaN™ gallium nitride transistor, IRS20957S controller IC, implement protection circuits, and design an optimum PCB layout using the IGT40R070D1 E8220, CoolGaN™ gallium nitride transistor. The reference design provides all the required housekeeping power supplies for ease of use. The two-channel design is scalable for power and the number of channels.

The EVAL_AUDAMP24 features a two-channels self-oscillating type PWM modulator for the lowest component count, highest performance and robust design. This topology represents an analog version of a second-order sigma-delta modulation, having a class D switching stage inside the loop. The benefit of the sigma-delta modulation, in comparison to the carrier-signal based modulation, is that all the error in the audible frequency range is shifted to the inaudible upper-frequency range by nature of its operation. Also, sigma-delta modulation enables the designer to apply sufficient error correction.
