Infineon opens GaN power lab with Anker
Infineon Technologies has opened a joint Innovation Application Centre in Shenzhen with Anker Innovations.
The Innovation Application Centre is already operating after two years of preparation and serves as R&D hub for engineers from Infineon and Anker to develop GaN power delivery (PD) fast charging designs. These are mainly based on Infineon’s Hybrid Flyback (HFB) controller product family and the CoolGaN IPS for fast chargers above 100W.
Anker has already brought several successful products to the market, such as a 100W+ fast charger device powered by Infineon’s CoolGaN in 2022. The centre aims to shorten the application cycle and accelerate the time to market for future products.
The acquisition of GaN Systems in 2023 has significantly accelerated Infineon’s GaN roadmap and further strengthens its position in power systems.
- GaN chip makers position for chargers
- Infineon leads €60m project for European integrated devices
- Infineon completes acquisition of GaN Systems
“Anker is an important customer for Infineon,” said Christian Burrer, Vice President of Systems & Application Marketing of Power & Sensor Systems Division at Infineon Technologies. “We have already started a strong cooperation in the charging field, with product and system solutions covering several Infineon product lines. In the field of PD charging, we provide our customers a comprehensive product portfolio, including state-of-the-art power controllers, first-class switching power supplies, leading silicon MOSFET and GaN transistor performance, and more.”
Beyond charging solutions, the joint lab is focusing on a more diversified range of GaN-based consumer applications.
“In 2023, Anker achieved success in many markets such as China and Europe. This would not have been possible without Infineon’s GaN technology solutions and the strong collaboration between our companies. We look forward to even intensifying our partnership with Infineon”, said by Kang Xiong, General Manager of the charging business unit at Anker Technologies.
