[{"type":"text","content":"New GaN power ICs add autonomous sensing and protection to increase efficiency and reliability for $4B+ mobile and consumer market\nEL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), the industry-leader in gallium nitride (GaN) power integrated circuits (ICs), announced that Dan Kinzer, COO/CTO and co-founder, will present “Advancing GaN Power Integration: Efficiency, Reliability & Autonomy” at PowerAmerica’s 2022 Wide Band-gap (WBG) Summer Workshop . Mr. Kinzer, a respected power-semiconductor-technology leader for several decades, will present on 2nd August at 1pm eastern time. The 75-minute tutorial includes GaN device fundamentals and Navitas’ proprietary AllGaN™ process design kit (PDK), before detailing practical applications, and the benefits of integrating GaN power with drive, plus control, sensing and protection, to enable the highest power-density, efficiency and reliability. Established in 2014, PowerAmerica brings together the brightest minds and leading innovators in the world of WBG semiconductors. As a member of PowerAmerica, Navitas provides technical and material input for initiatives to help companies using power semiconductors to upgrade beyond legacy silicon. In return, Navitas has access to resources and relationships contributing to business growth. The tutorial workshop is being held in conjunction with PowerAmerica’s 2022 Annual Meeting. Registration details can be found on the PowerAmerica website. GaN is a next-generation, WBG 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 with GaNSense™ technology integrate GaN power and drive plus sensing, protection and control to deliver simple, small, fast and efficient power conversion performance. “GaNSense technology is optimized for revolutionary high-speed, soft-switching topologies such as totem-pole PFC, asymmetric half-bridge and active-clamp flyback,” noted Mr, Kinzer. “Loss-less current-sensing delivers the efficiency boost, and 6x faster fault-detection – with ‘detect-to-protect’ in only 30 nanoseconds – means that systems can now be made as reliable as the GaN power ICs themselves.” Over 50,000,000 GaN ICs have shipped to mobile and consumer customers including Samsung, D...
