Navitas displaying expanded portfolio of GaN and SiC power semiconductors at PCIM
At the Power, Control and Intelligent Motion (PCIM) Europe 2023 trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany (9–11 May), Navitas Semiconductor of Torrance, CA, USA is introducing and displaying an expanded portfolio of gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) power products.
In exhibition booth #525 (Hall 9) visitors can discover how GaN and SiC deliver the performance, functionality, reliability and ease-of-use demanded by next-generation electric vehicles (EVs), solar, energy storage, home appliance and industrial drives. Highlights include GaNFast power ICs that integrate GaN power, sensing and control in a single device, and robust, high-voltage, high-efficiency GeneSiC silicon carbide optimized for reliable operation in harsh-environment, high-power designs.
“Navitas’ demonstrations, papers and panel discussions provide critical insight into how next-generation GaN and SiC deliver power-conversion and fast-charging solutions that could reduce global CO2 emissions by as much as six Gigatons per year by 2050,” says Alessandro Squeri, senior director for European sales.
