GPIRGIC15DFV

Special Purpose Regulators Overview

The GPIRGIC15DFV is a specialized power integrated circuit manufactured by GaNPower, utilizing Gallium Nitride (GaN) High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) technology. It is housed in an 8-DFN (8x8 mm) package and functions as a voltage regulator IC with one output. The device integrates high-performance GaN FETs to deliver efficient power conversion. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum on-resistance of 105 milliohms at a gate voltage of 0V and a test current of 2.5A. The component is rated for a nominal voltage of 6.5V, designed for applications requiring compact form factors and high efficiency.

Special Purpose Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision, as GaNPower documents may contain disclaimers regarding performance guarantees. Confirm the exact pinout and thermal pad requirements for the 8-DFN package during PCB layout. Ensure compatibility with the required 6.5V operating range and check for any specific driving or protection circuitry recommendations provided in the official documentation before integration.

Special Purpose Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, single-output regulator solution leveraging GaN technology is required. The 8-DFN package suits applications with strict spatial limitations. Consider the 105mOhm on-resistance specification for efficiency calculations at low currents. Verify that the 6.5V rating aligns with the system's voltage requirements and that the thermal management strategy supports the DFN package's dissipation capabilities.

Special Purpose Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to GaNPower's portfolio of Gallium Nitride-based power devices and related ICs. GaNPower develops these components using patented circuit topologies to achieve high performance in various packaging forms.
