Cambridge GaN Devices and Qorvo have partnered to bring together motor control and power efficiency technologies in the PAC5556A + ICeGaN evaluation kit. This collaboration combines Qorvo’s high- performance BLDC/PMSM motor controller/ driver and CGD’s easy-to-use ICeGaN ICs in a board designed to significantly improve motor control applications.
CGD’s chief marketing officer, Andrea Bricconi, said: “By combining industry- leading solutions from our two technology-strong companies in this EVK, we are enabling the development of compact, energy-efficient systems with high power density. Unlike other GaN implementations, ICeGaN technology easily interfaces with Qorvo’s PAC5556A motor control IC for seamless high performance in BLDC and PMSM applications.”
QORVO’s generalmanager,power management business unit, Jeff Strang, added: “Wide-bandgap semiconductors
like GaN and SiC are being integrated into motor control applications for the power density and efficiency advantages they offer. CGD’s ICeGaN technology delivers ease of use and reliability—two critical factors for motor control and drive designers.”
