Previewing GaN and SiC technologies and first 8.5kW AI data centre power supply

Navitas Semiconductor will be previewing several breakthroughs at electronica 2024. Aligned with the mission to 'Electrify our World', the 'Planet Navitas' booth invites visitors to discover how next-gen GaN and SiC technology allows the latest solutions for AI data centres, EV transportation, renewable energy, industrial drives, and consumer appliances. Each example highlights end-user benefits such as higher power density, increased efficiency, longer range, faster charging, portability, and grid independence, along with a focus on how low-carbon-footprint GaN and SiC technology can save over 6Gtons/yr CO2 by 2050.

Major technology updates include the world's first 8.5kW power supply for AI and hyperscale data centres, using high-power GaNSafe power ICs and Gen-3 Fast SiC MOSFETs.

Enabled by over 20 years of SiC innovation, GeneSiC technology offers world-leading performance over temperature to provide cool-running, fast-switching SiC MOSFETs to support up to 3x more powerful AI data centres and faster-charging EVs. The Gen-3 Fast GeneSiC MOSFETs are developed using a proprietary 'trench-assisted planar' technology, offering leading performance while providing superior robustness, manufacturability, and cost compared to the competition. Gen-3 Fast MOSFETs deliver high efficiency with high-speed performance, enabling up to 25C lower case temperature and up to 3x longer life than SiC products from other vendors.

Also on display will be the company's latest development of GaNSense Motor Drives ICs for home appliances and industrial, a 650V bidirectional GaN demonstrator for next-generation, highest efficiency, and power density solutions, and newly released SiCPAK modules for high-power markets such as power grid, renewables, EV charging, and UPS.

The company's Llew Vaughan-Edmunds will take part in the EETimes panel debate 'SiC & GaN Technologies – Exploring Advancements, Addressing Challenges' on November 12th, 2:20 pm local time. This debate will examine recent and upcoming advances that will increase wide bandgap technologies' share of the legacy silicon power IC market.

Visit the company at electronica 2024, in Hall C3, booth #129, from November 12th – 15th.
