Driving GaN into high-power markets

Navitas Semiconductor is highlighting next-generation IC technologies and market advancement at PCIM 2022.

GaN is a next-generation semiconductor technology that runs up to 20x faster than legacy silicon and allows up to 3x more power, 40% energy savings, and 3x faster charging in half the size and weight. Its GaNFast power ICs combine GaN power and drive plus sensing, protection and control to create simple, small, fast and efficient power conversion performance.

Recently announcing 40,000,000 mass-production shipments with zero reported GaN-related field failures and an industry-benchmark 20-year limited warranty have demonstrated the quality and reliability of GaNFast ICs over multiple markets and applications with Samsung, Xiaomi, Dell, Lenovo and LG. Application-specific GaN ICs created for data centre, solar and EVs were sampled in late 2021, and PCIM offers the perfect opportunity to update customers on efficiency, power density, quality and reliability for these new, higher-power markets.

“Europe is a key market for Navitas, which is reflected in our growing team presence, our industry-leading focus on sustainability and the development of multiple GaN ICs families targeting 1kW to 20kW applications,” said Navitas CEO and co-founder Gene Sheridan. “With recent customer announcements from Brusa (EV), Enphase (solar) and especially Compuware (data centre) with the looming EU ‘Titanium+’ Directive 2009/125/EC, plus application-specific design centres, we can demonstrate Navitas’ rapid progress into these strategic, higher-power markets.”
