Now, for the first time, this break-through GaN power IC technology - the only GaN semiconductor platform to monolithically integrate drive, control, protection and power - is available to applications that operate in the 2kW to 20kW power range, which includes data centers, solar inverters and electric vehicle power electronics. This development is foundational in the upgrade from legacy silicon to next-generation GaN semiconductors to \"Electrify Our World\" and transition from fossil fuels to clean electric applications, and impact up to 2.6Gtons/year of CO2 emissions by 2050.\nGaN is a next-generation semiconductor technology that runs up to 20x faster than legacy silicon and enables up to 3x more power, 40% energy savings and 3x faster charging in half the size and weight. Navitas' GaNFast™ power ICs integrate GaN power and drive plus protection and control to deliver simple, small, fast and efficient performance. The new products are optimized for each of the high-power markets, with feature, function and power upgrades to become true GaNFast application-specific integrated circuits.\n\"The Navitas Engineering teams have delivered on-time again, with high-performance GaN power ICs that drive our market expansions,\" said Gene Sheridan, co-founder and CEO. \"This is another successful step along the path we outlined in our financial roadmap to investors, expanding from our #1 position in the 20W to 300W mobile fast charger market...
