The company’s expanding portfolio is expected to boost prospects. On March 4, 2026, Arrow Electronics and Infineon Technologies introduced a new 240W USB-C power reference design, called REF_ARIF240GaN, for battery-powered motor control applications that require high performance and energy efficiency in a compact size.
The design supports USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.2 and works with Infineon’s new EZ-PD PMGI-B2 USB controller, which can deliver up to 240W of power. It includes built-in buck-boost functionality, assisting developers in adding high-power USB-C charging to their products. The system supports fast charging for lithium-ion battery packs with two to 12 cells. It simplifies product design and reduces the number of required components. For motor control, the design uses Infineon’s PSOC C3 microcontroller and 100V CoolGaN G5 transistors, enabling efficient motor performance in compact battery-powered devices. The above introduction by Arrow Electronics and Infineon Technologies could positively could potentially benefit Arrow Electronics by driving component sales and engineering services revenues.
