Navitas to Drive Next Generation GaN ICs into High Power Markets at PCIM Europe

Navitas Semiconductor, an industry leader in gallium nitride (GaN) power integrated circuits (ICs) will highlight next-generation IC technologies and market advancement at Europe’s most prestigious power electronics conference, PCIM (Power, Control and Intelligent Motion) 2022 (May 10th-12th, Nuremberg, Germany).

Gallium nitride (GaN) is a next-generation semiconductor technology that runs up to 20 x faster than legacy silicon and enables up to 3 x more power, 40% energy savings, and 3 x faster charging in half the size and weight. Navitas’ GaNFast power ICs integrate GaN power and drive plus sensing, protection and control to deliver simple, small, fast, and efficient power conversion performance.

Recent announcements of 40,000,000 mass-production shipments with zero reported GaN-related field failures, and an industry-benchmark 20-year limited warranty has confirmed the quality and reliability of GaNFast ICs across multiple markets and applications with customers including Samsung, Xiaomi, Dell, Lenovo, and LG. Application-specific GaN ICs tailored for data center, solar, and EVs were sampled in late 2021, and PCIM provides 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 1 kW to 20 kW applications,” said Navitas CEO and co-founder Gene Sheridan. “With recent customer announcements from Brusa (EV), Enphase (solar), and especially Compuware (data center) with the looming EU ‘Titanium+’ Directive 2009/125/EC, plus application-specific design centers, we can demonstrate Navitas’ rapid progress into these strategic, higher-power markets.”

PCIM Europe will take place at the Nürnberg Messe from May 10-12, 2022. As well as showcasing the latest integrated GaNFast ICs with GaNSense technology, Navitas will give visitors to booth 523 (Hall 9) the chance to win a Tesla Model 3 Performance, worth over $60,000.
