Infineon is providing AWL-E with its CoolGaN GS61008P allowing the development of advanced wireless power solutions. The partnership combines Infineon's gallium nitride (GaN) technology with AWL-E's MHz resonant capacitive coupling power transfer system, delivering more efficient wireless power.
Infineon’s GaN transistor technology offers both efficiency and high-power density while operating at high switching frequencies and this enables AWL-E to increase its system lifetime, reduces downtime and operating costs, while improving ease-of-use for consumers.
In the automotive sector, the technology is enabling a new range of interior experiences and seat dynamics, while in industrial systems it provides much greater levels of design freedom, such as for automated guided vehicles or robotic applications.
Additionally, the technology allows for a fully sealed system design, eliminating the need for charging ports which contributes to reducing global consumption of batteries.
“With our partner approach we prove once more the ability to unlocking the full system-level benefits of Infineon’s CoolGaN technology, enabling compactness and efficiency,” said Falk Herm, Global Partnership & Ecosystem Management at Infineon’s Power & Sensor Systems (PSS) Division at Infineon. “The combination of AWL-E and Infineon’s complementary capabilities demonstrates how the features of GaN, namely operating at MHz frequencies, change the paradigm of what can be done with power transistors, driving greener and better performing products.”
