Dan Kinzer. COO / CTO Navitas Semiconductor will present the "Next-Generation GaNFast Integration: Autonomy, Efficiency, Reliability" on November 18th, 2021 at 10:00 AM, Central Time (US and Canada). Abstract: Since production launch in Q1 2018, high-voltage gallium nitride (GaN) power ICs have moved into mainstream power applications. High-frequency, high-power-density system optimization poses new questions and presents new opportunities for GaN power IC designers to extend system performance advantages over GaN discretes, and legacy silicon. Next-generation integration enables even higher efficiency, autonomy and reliability with precision sensing of system current, voltage and temperature and real-time control and protection. External monitoring components - such as large, lossy sense resistors – are eliminated, reducing system power loss, reducing complexity and reducing cost. Autonomous characteristics include current sense and protection, low-power standby, etc. The presentation will present worked-examples covering mobile fast chargers in the range 30-300W, and including PFC options and ACF/QR examples.

Navitas’ Lin Dong, will be hosting a session on “GaNFast Power ICs: Beyond Chargers” at Electronica China 2021. Since 2018, gallium nitride (GaN) power ICs have powered mass production mobile fast chargers for smartphones and laptops, delivering up to 3x more power or 3x faster charging in half the size and weight of legacy silicon chips. Now, over 25,000,000 GaNFast power ICs have been shipped to tier-1 customers including Lenovo, OPPO, Xiaomi, Anker, Vivo and many more. Now, the same high-performance combination of GaN FET, GaN driver plus control and protection is applied to higher-power systems like EV, solar microinverters and data center power supplies.

Join Navitas and fellow experts from the field of Wide Bandgap Power Semiconductors, as we share the latest trends and achievements in this evolving technology. For the second year, this event will be totally virtual, due to the uncertainty around the pandemic and the possible travel restrictions we still see in many parts of the world. More information to follow.

Join Navitas Semiconductor at the Power Electronics News, PowerUP Conference 2021. The PowerUp Expo is a three-day virtual conference and exhibition focusing on power. The PowerUp Expo works in the same way that a live exhibition and conference does: it has fair grounds, an exhibition hall, and a conference area. During the technical conference, we will have several topic-specific sessions of keynotes, panel discusssions, technical presentations and tutorials about major technical trends, market requirements, new applications areas, etc. Parallel to the Conference there will be an Exhibition, featuring virtual booths from leading power electronics companies. A Live Chat tool enables visitors to directly contact the booth personnel.

Navitas Semiconductor are excited to return to CES 2022. The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® today announced CES® 2022, the world’s most influential technology event, will return to Las Vegas next year. Following a successful all-digital CES 2021, CTA will convene the tech industry in-person and digitally, giving a global audience access to major brands and startups, as well as the world’s most-influential leaders and industry advocates. CES heads back to Las Vegas Jan. 5-8, 2022, with Media Days taking place Jan. 3-4, 2022.

“Electrify Our World™” presentation VP Corporate Marketing & Investor Relations, Stephen Oliver to highlight performance and environmental benefits of next-gen GaN power ICs in fast chargers, EV, solar and data center markets. GaN is a next-generation semiconductor technology that runs up to 20x faster than legacy silicon and enables up to 3x more power and 3x faster charging, with up to 40% energy savings in half the size and weight of legacy silicon solutions. Navitas’ GaNFast™ power ICs integrate GaN power and drive plus protection and control to deliver simple, small, fast and efficient performance. With over 145 patents issued or pending, and significant trade secrets including a proprietary process design kit (PDK), Navitas believes it has a multi-year lead in next-generation GaN power ICs.
