Silicon Labs + Teledyne e2v HiRel Form Partnership

October 21, 2020

Silicon Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB) has released a new, high reliability (HiRel), isolation partnership with Teledyne e2v HiRel — Teledyne will offer a new, specialized line of high reliability products based on Silicon Labs’ isolated gate driver technology optimized for space, aerospace, military and oil & gas markets.

Teledyne e2v HiRel will market custom high reliability solutions based on Silicon Labs’ Si827x isolated gate driver family. The Teledyne gate drivers will be screened and qualified by the company accordingly for specific market specifications, with an initial focus on satellite power systems that support satellite communications.

The new Teledyne family based on Silicon Labs gate drivers are ideal for GaN applications due to their faster switches rates and provide options for either a single driver or a combination of two 4 A isolated drivers in a single IC package for isolated gate drive applications. The product offers high-performance noise immunity, eliminating the risk posed by faster switching speeds. The high noise transients generated by the faster switching do not affect signal integrity through the driver, removing the risk of incorrect switching or latch-up.

The custom Teledyne solutions based on the Silicon Labs Si827x product family will be made available in Q4 of 2020. The new devices are ideally suited to compliment Teledyne’s new family of HiRel GaN HEMTs, the TDG650 family. The applicable Teledyne parts include TDGD271DEP (Si8271GB-IS), TDGD274DEP (Si8274GB1-IS1), and TDGD274FEP (Si8274GB1-IM1).

Executive Comments

“The combination of Silicon Labs’ industry leading isolation with Teledyne’s expertise in space and aerospace will give high reliability customers a new level of performance in their complex systems,” said Brian Mirkin, VP and GM of Power Products at Silicon Labs. “Our proprietary silicon isolation technology is ideal for specialized markets such as aerospace that require high performance noise immunity, and flexible driver configurations to successfully manage high-speed switching requirements.”

“We anticipate a great deal of demand from our customer base with this new level of isolation reliability excellence we are able to offer,” said Mont Taylor, Teledyne e2v HiRel VP of Business Development. “Our HiRel customers are seeking robust power solutions and we are confident this new partnership with Silicon Labs will deliver a new caliber of isolated gate drivers that will help space, aerospace, oil and gas and military companies enhance and strengthen their system designs.”
