[{"type":"text","content":"Next-gen semiconductor leader announces industry-first production milestone\nEL SEGUNDO, Calif., May 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), the industry-leader in gallium nitride (GaN) power integrated circuits (ICs) announced an industry-first achievement of 50,000,000 units shipped – with zero reported GaN-related field failures. To celebrate, a Navitas GaN wafer was presented to vivo – pioneers in fast charging. vivo’s vision of cooperating with Navitas brings more convenience to users through leading technology, making chargers faster, lighter, and more environmentally friendly – highly-consistent with Navitas’ iconic mission and vision to ‘Electrify Our World™’. In January and April 2022, vivo and Navitas aligned their visions for fast and ultra-fast charging with stunning new products successfully launched in mass production, all adopting Navitas’ next generation GaN power ICs – GaNFast™️ with GaNSense™️. As a dedicated early-adopter of GaNSense technology, vivo first launched a 120W in-box ultra-fast charger, shipped with one of vivo’s latest flagship phone model, enabling 0-100% charging speed in only 19 minutes. Then, a pioneering dual-USB-C, 80W GaN charger shipped with vivo’s first 8”-screen foldable phone, supporting simultaneous fast-charging of two devices at a featherweight 122 g. With a power density of 1 W/cc, and fast-charge from 0-50% in only 17 minutes, this represents another alliance-milestone of ultra-portability and fast-charging. \"The cooperation with Navitas kicks off a new era for vivo and its historical upgrade of mobile-phone charging speed,” said Senior Vice President & CTO at vivo, Yujian Shi. “Users can experience ultra-fast, ultra-portable charging on our new flagship phones thanks to Navitas’ GaNFast power ICs. We’re excited to partner with Navitas to leverage GaN technology for our customers – including GaN’s environmental benefits.” Since full qualification in 2018, Navitas has pioneered a revolution in power electronics, and is the industry-leader in fast and ultra-fast chargers for consumer mobile applications. Recent announcements on high-power IC availability and dedicated design-centers for data center and EV applications reinforce its #1 position in GaN and growth beyond chargers, into high-reliability systems – backed by an industry-first, 20-year limited wa...
