Renesas Strengthens Power Leadership with New GaN FETs for High-Density Power Conversion in AI Data Centers, Industrial and Charging Systems
  Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, introduced three new high-voltage 650V GaN FETs for AI data centers and server power supply systems including the new 800V HVDC architecture, E-mobility charging, UPS battery backup devices, battery energy storage and solar inverters. Designed for multi-kilowatt-class applications, these 4th-generation plus (Gen IV Plus) devices combine high-efficiency GaN technology with a silicon-compatible gate drive input, significantly reducing switching power loss while retaining the operating simplicity of silicon FETs. Offered in TOLT, TO-247 and TOLL package options, the devices give engineers the flexibility to customize their thermal management and board design for specific power architectures.  The new TP65H030G4PRS, TP65H030G4PWS and TP65H030G4PQS devices leverage the robust SuperGaN® platform, a field-proven depletion mode (d-mode) normally-off architecture pioneered by Transphorm, which was acquired by Renesas in June 2024. Based on low-loss d-mode technology, the devices offer superior efficiency over silicon, silicon carbide (SiC), and other GaN offerings. Moreover, they minimize power loss with lower gate charge, output capacitance, crossover loss, and dynamic resistance impact, with a higher 4V threshold voltage, which is not achievable with today’s enhancement mode (e-mode) GaN devices.  Built on a die that is 14 percent smaller than the previous Gen IV platform, the new Gen IV Plus products achieve a lower RDS(on) of 30 milliohms (mΩ), reducing on-resistance by 14 percent and delivering a 20 percent improvement in on-resistance output-capacitance-product figure of merit (FOM). The smaller die size reduces system costs and lowers output capacitance, which results in higher efficiency and power density. These advantages make the Gen IV Plus devices ideal for cost-conscious, thermally demanding applications where high performance, efficiency and small footprint are critical. They are fully compatible with existing designs for easy upgrades, while preserving existing engineering investments.  Available in compact TOLT, TO-247 and TOLL packages, they provide one of the broadest packaging options to accommodate thermal performance and layout optimization for power systems ranging from 1kW to 10kW, and even higher with paralleling. The new surface-mount packages include bottom side (TOLL) and top-side (TOLT) thermal conduction paths for cooler case temperatures, allowing easier device paralleling when higher conduction currents are needed. Further, the commonly used TO-247 package provides customers with higher thermal capability to achieve higher power.  “The rollout of Gen IV Plus GaN devices marks the first major new product milestone since Renesas’ acquisition of Transphorm last year,” said Primit Parikh, Vice President of the GaN Business Division at Renesas. “Future versions will combine the field-proven SuperGaN technology with our drivers and controllers to deliver complete power solutions. Whether used as standalone FETs or integrated into complete system solution designs with Renesas controllers or drivers, these devices will provide a clear path to designing products with higher power density, reduced footprint and better efficiency at a lower total system cost.”  Unique d-mode Normally-off Design for Reliability and Easy Integration  Like previous d-mode GaN products, the new Renesas devices use an integrated low-voltage silicon MOSFET – a unique configuration that achieves seamless normally-off operation while fully capturing the low loss, high efficiency switching benefits of the high- voltage GaN. As they use silicon FETs for the input stage, the SuperGaN FETs are easy to drive with standard off-the-shelf gate drivers rather than specialized drivers that are normally required for e-mode GaN. This compatibility simplifies design and lowers the barrier to GaN adaptation for system developers.  GaN-based switching devices are quickly growing as key technologies for next-generation power semiconductors, fueled by demand from electric vehicles (EVs), inverters, AI data center servers, renewable energy, and industrial power conversion. Compared to SiC and silicon-based semiconductor switching devices, they provide superior efficiency, higher switching frequency and smaller footprints.  Renesas is uniquely positioned in the GaN market with its comprehensive solutions, offering both high- and low-power GaN FETs, unlike many providers whose success in the field has been primarily limited to lower power devices. This diverse portfolio enables Renesas to serve a broader range of applications and customer needs. To date, Renesas has shipped over 20 million GaN devices for high- and low-power applications, representing more than 300 billion hours of field usage.

In particular, the growing use of generative AI and high-performance GPUs has created a need to simultaneously improve power efficiency while supporting higher currents. To address these challenges, the industry is shifting from 12V systems to more efficient 48V power architectures. Furthermore, in hot-swap circuits used to safely replace modules while servers remain powered on, MOSFETs are required that offer both wide SOA (Safe Operating Area) and low ON-resistance to protect against inrush current and overloads.  The RY7P250BM delivers these critical characteristics in a compact 8080-size package, helping to reduce power loss and cooling requirements in data centers while improving overall server reliability and energy efficiency. As the demand for 8080-size MOSFETs grows, this new product provides a drop-in replacement for existing designs. Notably, the RY7P250BM achieves wide SOA (VDS=48V, Pw=1ms/10ms) ideal for hot-swap operation. Power loss and heat generation are also minimized with an industry-leading low ON-resistance of 1.86mΩ (VGS=10V, ID=50A, Tj=25°C), approximately 18% lower than the typical 2.28mΩ of existing wide SOA 100V MOSFETs in the same size.  Wide SOA tolerance is essential in hot-swap circuits, especially those in AI servers that experience large inrush currents. The RY7P250BM meets this demand, achieving 16A at 10ms and 50A at 1ms, enabling support for high-load conditions conventional MOSFETs struggle to handle.  ROHM’s new product has also been certified as a recommended component by leading global cloud platform provider, where it is expected to gain widespread adoption in next-generation AI servers. Especially in server applications where reliability and energy efficiency are mission-critical, the combination of wide SOA and low RDS(on) has been highly evaluated for cloud infrastructure.

Tumfei Valve Technology:The principle of common valves and their use
  Tumfei Valve Technology has summarized the principle of common valves and their use. Let's learn about them together.  First, the role of the valve  1, opening and closing action - cut off or communicate the flow of fluid in the tube;  2, regulating effect - regulating tube flow, flow rate;  3, throttling effect - make the fluid through the valve to produce a large pressure drop;  4. Other functions -a. Automatic opening and closing b. Maintain a certain pressure c, prevent steam drainage.  Second, the type of valve  1, according to the use of: cut-off valves, regulating valves, diverting valves, check valves, safety valves;  2, according to the force points: he action with the valve, automatic action valve.  Three, the main parameters of the valve  PN nominal pressure (the maximum pressure that allows fluid to pass through);  DN nominal diameter;  TN Temperature range (permissible fluid temperature range).  Forth, Check the valve before use  Check items include:  1, the internal and external surfaces of the valve body have sand holes, cracks and other defects;  2. Whether the valve seat is firmly engaged with the valve body, whether the spool is consistent with the valve seat, and whether the sealing surface is defective;  3, whether the valve stem and the spool connection is flexible and reliable, whether the valve stem is bent, whether the thread is damaged or corroded;  4, packing, gasket is aging damage;  5, the valve open is flexible, etc.  Fifth,Problems often occur in the use of valves  1, flange and thread leakage at the connection of the pipeline;  2, packing culvert leakage, waist pad leakage and valve stem can not move;  3, between the valve core and the seat is not tightly closed to form internal leakage.  Sixth, the characteristics of commonly used valves and their use precautions  (1) Plug Valve (Cock)  Features: TN less than 150 degrees PN less than 1.6Mpa its simple structure, quick opening and closing, easy operation, low fluid resistance and other advantages  Precautions for use:  1, the outer end of the valve stem is square, the straight line marked by the diagonal is vertical and the direction of the valve body is closed, and the direction of the valve body is consistent with the open state;  2, the normal switch valve with cock special wrench, to avoid sliding with the valve stem caused by safety accidents; Try not to use an adjustable wrench to cause slippage;  3, open the valve according to the previous check item check, slowly open the valve after the check, try not to stand in the direction of the sealing surface when opening, encounter acid and alkali fluid must wear acid mask;  4, if the pipeline has a sight mirror see the fluid in the sight mirror can be checked and left.  (2) Ball valve:  Ball valve and plug valve are the same type of valve, but the opening and closing part is a ball with a hole, and the center line of the ball valve stem rotates to achieve the purpose of opening and closing.  Insulated ball valve with jacket  Stainless steel ball valve  Stainless steel ball valve quick opening ball valve  Features: Valve structure is simple, reliable, used for two-way flow medium pipeline, fluid resistance is small, good sealing; Disadvantages; The medium is easy to leak from the stem.  Precautions for use:  Same as a plug valve;  With a handle valve, the handle perpendicular to the medium flow direction for the closed state, consistent with the direction for the open state; If the ball valve with jacket insulation should pay attention to the following matters:  The jacket insulation steam should be opened to melt the crystallizing medium in the valve before opening and closing the valve, do not forcibly open and close the valve before the medium is completely melted;  When the valve cannot be opened, the method of lengthening the lever cannot be used to forcibly open the valve, because this will cause the valve stem to be resisted and the spool to fall off, causing damage to the valve or causing damage to the wrench, resulting in unsafe factors.  (3) Butterfly valve  The butterfly valve uses a rotating disc with a flexible shaft to control the opening and cosing of the pipeline, and the Angle size reflects the opening degree of the valve.  According to the different transmission methods, the butterfly valve is split, pneumatic and electric three, commonly used for manual, rotating handle through the gear drive valve stem to open and close the valve.  Features: Butterfly valve has the advantages of simple structure, rapid opening and closing, small fluid resistance, easy maintenance, etc., but it can not be used for high temperature and high pressure occasions, PN less than 1.6Mpa, t less than 120 degrees of large diameter water, steam, air, oil and other pipelines.  Precautions for use:  1, the spool can only be rotated 90 degrees, generally the valve body will indicate the direction of the CLOSE and OPEN arrows, the hand wheel clockwise rotation is closed, and the reverse is open;  2, if sometimes there is a certain resistance to opening and closing, you can use a special P wrench to open the valve. But it can not be forced to open and close, otherwise the male will stir the thin rod gear:  3. It is forbidden to remove the handwheel and report the hand vibration valve sample with activity; (Same goes for lower waist)  4. Gradually open and close when opening and closing, observe whether there is any abnormal situation, and prevent leakage.  (4) Stop valve  The globe valve is the most widely used cut-off valve in chemical production. Compared with the above three cut-off valves, it is not the use of the rotation of its closing parts to open and close the valve, but the use of the valve stem to drive the circular valve disc (valve head) connected with it, and change the distance between the valve disc and the seat to control the valve opening and closing.  Streamline type stop valve American standard stop valve  Features: The upper part of the globe valve has a handwheel, valve stem, the middle has a thread and packing culvert sealing section, the small valve stem on the thread in the valve body, its compact structure, but the valve stem and the medium contact part, especially the thread part is easy to corroded, from the height of the valve stem exposed to the valve cover can be judged  The globe valve structure is more complex, but the operation is simple, not very laborious, easy to adjust the flow rate and truncate the channel, slow closing without water hammer phenomenon, so it is more widely used.  When installing the globe valve, pay attention to the direction of the fluid, the pipeline fluid should flow through the valve seat from the bottom up, and the so-called "low into high", the purpose is to reduce the fluid resistance, so that the valve stem and packing culvert are not in contact with the medium under the opening and closing state, to ensure that the valve stem and packing culvert are not damaged and leaked.  The globe valve is mainly used for the pipeline of water, steam, compressed air and various materials, which can adjust the flow rate more accurately and strictly cut off the channel, but can not be used for materials with large viscosity and easy crystallization.  Precautions for use:  1, before opening to check the valve for defects, especially the filler culvert leakage:  2, in the valve stem can not be directly rotated by hand, the special F wrench can be used to open and close, when it is still unable to open and close, please do not extend the wrench lever to force open and close, resulting in damage to the valve or cause safety accidents:  3, when used for medium pressure steam pipeline valve, the condensate in the pipe should be drained first when opened. Then slowly open the valve with 0.2 to 0.3Mpa steam to preheat the pipeline, to avoid the sudden opening of pressure caused by damage to the sealing surface, called the normal inspection after the pressure to adjust the required state  (5) Gate valve  Gate valve, also known as gate valve or gate valve, it is through the lift of the gate to control the valve opening and closing, the gate is straight to the direction of the fluid, change the relative position between the gate and the seat can change the size of the channel.  Open stem gate valve Dark stem gate valve  According to the different movement of the valve stem when the gate valve is opened and closed, the gate valve has two kinds of distinct rod type and dark rod type.  Open rod gate valve stem thread strike outside the valve body, open the valve stem out of the handwheel, its advantage is that according to the length of the valve stem to determine the size of the valve open, the valve stem and the medium contact length is small, the thread part is basically not affected by the medium corrosion, the disadvantage is that the height of the overhang space.  The valve stem thread inside the valve stem and the internal thread on the gate plate want to match, open the valve stem only rotation without up and down, the gate rises along the valve stem thread. The advantage of dark rod gate valve is that the overhang space is small, the disadvantage is that the opening of the valve can not be judged according to the condition of the valve stem, and the valve stem thread is easily corroded by long-term contact with the medium.  Gate valve has the advantages of small fluid resistance, constant medium flow direction, slow opening without water hammer phenomenon, easy to adjust the flow rate, etc. The disadvantages are complex structure, large size, long opening and closing time, and difficult maintenance of sealing surface. Due to the large bore feed pipe  1, when the valve stem is opened and closed in place, it can not be forced to force, otherwise it will break the internal thread or latch screw, so that the valve is damaged;  2, open and close the valve when the hand can not be directly started, F wrench can be used to open and close;  3. When opening and closing the valve, pay attention to the sealing surface of the valve, especially the packing gland to prevent leakage.  (6) Throttle valve  Throttle valve, also known as needle valve, its shape is similar to the globe valve, its valve core shape is different, back to the base or parabola, often used in the instrument, often bundle connection.  Precautions for use:  1, because of the threaded connection, first check whether the threaded connection is loose when opening and closing;  2, open and close the valve slowly, because the flow area is small, the flow rate is large, may cause corrosion of the sealing surface, should pay attention to observe, pay attention to the change of pressure.  (7) Check valve  Check valve is a valve that automatically opens and closes by using the pressure difference between the medium before and after the valve to control the one-way flow of the medium, also known as check valve or check valve.  Check valves are divided into two types according to different structures: lifting type (jumping type) and swinging type (shaking pole type).  Lift type swing type  Precautions for use:  Pay attention to the direction of the valve, the arrow is consistent with the flow direction of the medium, such as the medium easy crystallization may cause the valve disc can not be pressed down to play the role of command and check.  (8) Safety valve  The safety valve is a kind of valve that automatically opens and closes according to the medium pressure. When the medium pressure exceeds a certain value, it can automatically open the valve to discharge pressure relief, so that the equipment pipeline is free from the danger of damage, and can automatically close after the pressure returns to normal.  According to the way of balancing the internal pressure, the safety valve is divided into two categories: lever weight type and spring type.  Precautions for use:  1, the safety valve must be used within the validity period;  2, the safety valve control valve installed on the pipeline and equipment is usually the globe valve must be opened to ensure that the safety valve can work effectively;  3. Periodically lift the valve disc slightly and use the medium to blow the impurities in the valve.  4, if the safety valve can not work within the setting pressure, it must be re-validated or replaced  (9) Steam trap  Steam trap is a kind of valve that can automatically and intermittently remove condensate and prevent steam from leaking out in steam pipeline, heater and other equipment systems. Commonly used are bell-shaped float type, thermal power type and pulse type.  Precautions for use:  1, use the pipeline bypass valve to remove condensate before use, when there is steam to close the bypass, start the trap path, otherwise the valve will be closed water can not play the role of drainage;  2. Be careful not to be scalded by steam when opening and closing the valve.  (10) All kinds of sampling valves  As the name suggests, the sampling valve is a valve used to obtain media samples so that chemical analysis can be performed, generally installed in equipment or pipelines are roughly divided into the following categories:  Double opening valves, flanged clip valves, and sampling valves with insulated jacket:  Use note method:  1, the double opening valve is generally composed of two ball valves, to sample safety and achieve the purpose of sampling through linkage in the negative pressure device; When sampling, close the second valve near the equipment and pipeline and open the first valve. Let the medium flow into the space between the two valves; Then close the first valve, open the second valve, and place the sampling vessel into the sampling port to contain the medium;  2. The flange clip valve is generally sealed through the top cone of the valve stem and the cone hole of the seat, and the valve stem is separated from the cone hole by turning the hand wheel during sampling, so that the medium can flow from the cone hole to the external sampling vessel;  3, with jacket insulation sampling valve should pay attention to the following matters:  I should open the jacket insulation steam to melt the crystallizable medium in the valve before opening and closing the valve, do not forcibly open and close the valve before the medium is completely melted;  When the valve cannot be opened, the method of lengthening the lever cannot be used to forcibly open the valve, because this will cause the valve stem to suffer greater resistance and the valve core to fall off, or cause the valve stem and the cone hole sealing surface to be damaged. from  And cause damage to the valve or cause damage to the wrench, resulting in unsafe factors.  (11) Fluorine plastic lined rubber valve  Fluorine plastic lined rubber valve is mainly used in acid and alkali and other corrosive media, its structure principle is similar to the unlined fluorine plastic valve, but its stem, valve core, valve seat are used fluorine plastic substrate, its use method is similar.  Classification of valves  There are many kinds of valves. With the continuous improvement of the process flow and performance of various complete sets of equipment, the types of valves are still increasing, and there are a variety of classification methods.  According to the automatic and drive classification, can be divided into:  1) Automatic valves rely on the ability of the medium (liquid, air, steam, etc.) to operate by itself. Such as safety valves, check valves, pressure reducing valves, steam traps, solenoid valves, air traps, emergency cut-off valves, etc.  2) Drive valves Valves that are operated manually, electrically, hydraulically or pneumatic. Such as gate valve, globe valve, throttle valve, butterfly valve, ball valve, plug valve and so on.  According to the use and function classification, can be divided into:  1) The cut-off valve is mainly used to cut off or connect the medium flow in the pipeline. Such as globe valve, gate valve, ball valve, plug valve, butterfly valve, diaphragm valve and so on.  2) Check valves are used to prevent the backflow of the medium. Such as a variety of different structures of the check valve.  3) Regulating valves are mainly used to regulate the pressure and flow of the pipeline medium. Such as regulating valve, throttle valve, pressure reducing valve and so on.  4) The diverter valve is used to change the direction of the flow of the medium in the pipeline, and plays the role of distributing, diverting or mixing the medium.  Such as various structures of distribution valves, three-way or four-way plug valves, three-way or four-way ball valves, various types of traps and so on.  5) Safety valves are used for overpressure safety protection, discharge of excess media, and prevent pressure from exceeding the specified value. Such as various types of safety valves.  6) Multi-purpose valves are used to replace two, three or even more types of valves. Such as stop check valve, check ball valve, stop check safety valve, etc.  7) Other special valves such as blowdown valve, blowdown valve, coke valve, pigging valve, etc.
