2 February 2024
In its ‘Planet Navitas’ booth #1353 at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC 2024) in the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center, Long Beach, CA, USA (26-29 February), gallium nitride (GaN) power IC and silicon carbide (SiC) technology firm Navitas Semiconductor Corp of Torrance, CA, USA is highlighting how GaN and SiC technology is enabling the latest solutions for fully electrified housing, transportation and industry. Examples range from TV power to home-appliance motors and compressors, electric vehicle (EV) charging, solar/micro-grid installations, and data-center power systems. Each highlights end-user benefits, such as increased portability, longer range, faster charging, and grid-independence, plus a focus on how low-carbon-footprint GaN and SiC technology can save over 6Gtons/year CO2 by 2050.
“Complementary GaNFast and GeneSiC portfolios, with comprehensive, application-specific system design support, accelerates customer time-to-market with sustainable performance advantages,” says chief operating officer/chief technology officer & co-founder Dan Kinzer. “‘Planet Navitas’ represents the very real, inspiring implementation of GaN and SiC across the vast $22bn/year market opportunity.”
Major technology updates and releases include GaNSafe (claimed to be the world’s most-protected, most-reliable and highest-performance GaN power), Gen-4 GaNSense Half-Bridge ICs (the most integrated GaN devices), Gen-3 Fast SiC power FETs (for high-power performance), and bi-directional GaN (for motor drive and energy-storage applications).
