NV6169

Overview

The NV6169 is a GaNFast power IC featuring integrated GaNSense technology, designed for high-efficiency power delivery. It operates with a 650V load voltage and supports a supply voltage range of 9V to 30V. The device provides a single N-channel output capable of handling up to 24A, with a typical on-resistance of 45mΩ. It utilizes a 36-VQFN package with an exposed pad for surface mount installation. The component includes built-in protection features such as fixed current limiting and over-temperature shutdown, ensuring reliable operation within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates GaNSense technology for real-time monitoring of voltage, current, and temperature.
• Features controlled slew rate to minimize electromagnetic interference during switching.
• Includes internal fault protection mechanisms for current limiting and thermal management.

Applications

• High-power density mobile phone chargers
• Ultra-fast mini charger designs
• General-purpose power distribution switches
• Load driver applications requiring low-side switching

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix (e.g., TR, CT, DKR) to confirm packaging type, as these affect physical form but not electrical function. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements against your assembly process standards. Ensure the supplier documentation matches the manufacturer's official datasheet for the NV6169 part number to avoid compatibility issues with gate drive signals and thermal dissipation requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring integrated sensing and protection in a compact footprint. The 45mΩ on-resistance offers a balance between conduction losses and cost for medium-current applications. Consider the 36-pin QFN package for thermal performance and PCB space constraints. Verify that the control interface supports PWM input and that the system can accommodate the required supply voltage range for proper gate drive operation.

Part Context

The NV6169 belongs to Navitas Semiconductor's GaNFast series, which combines Gallium Nitride power switches with intelligent control logic. This integration simplifies design by reducing external component count compared to discrete solutions. The GaNSense variant specifically adds sensing capabilities, enabling advanced monitoring and protection features without additional sensors. It represents a move towards autonomous power management in consumer electronics and industrial applications.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. When evaluating alternatives, ensure compatibility with the 650V rating, 24A current capacity, and 36-QFN package dimensions. Verify that any replacement supports similar GaNSense functionality if real-time monitoring is critical to the application design.
