For a long time, the power adapter for gaming laptops has been "big and bulky". The good news is that with the popularization of gallium nitride technology, more and more compact and lighter alternative products are coming on the market. What I want to introduce to you is the new 280W power adapter product brought by GaN Systems and Phihong Technology.

It is reported that this revolutionary new gallium nitride charger will be unveiled at the GaN Systems booth (#509) at the 2022 PCIM Europe exhibition. The power adapter is only 16×6.9×2.5 cm in size and weighs only 700 grams, but has a power density of 16 watts per cubic inch.
This product combines Feihong's efficient overshoot structure, zero voltage/zero current soft switch , digital control technology, and GaN Systems' power semiconductors.
Compared with traditional chargers with the same power, GaN Systems' new GaN Nitride products have a 50% reduction in volume and a 30% reduction in weight. The power density of
16 W/in³ breaks through the industry's long-standing design limitations and challenges, and has a full-load conversion efficiency of up to 95%, no-load standby loss
. In contrast, the 280W AC power supply adapter standard for Eurocom Raptor X15 is 18×8.5×3.5 cm. Of course, GaN Systems is not the first player to enter the compact and lightweight gallium nitride gaming laptop charging head market.
Before this, RAZER gaming laptops have been well known for their lightweight body and power adapter. Looking ahead, we expect more and more gaming laptop manufacturers to embrace gallium nitride solutions.
