[{"type":"text","content":"Advances mission to “Electrify Our World™” as each next-gen GaN power IC saves 4 kg CO2 EL SEGUNDO, Calif., May 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor, industry-leader in GaN power ICs, announced that it is the world’s first semiconductor company to achieve CarbonNeutral®-company certification from the leading experts on carbon-neutrality and climate finance, Natural Capital Partners. Achieving CarbonNeutral-company certification is another milestone towards Navitas’ mission to “Electrify Our World” and to help Navitas’ customers achieve their own sustainability goals. Gallium nitride (GaN) 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 sensing, protection and control to deliver simple, small, fast and efficient power-conversion performance. Navitas is the market-leader in GaN power semiconductors with over 50,000,000 units shipped, zero reported GaN-related field-failures, and a 20-year warranty. Similar industry-leadership in sustainability can be charted through a series of milestones, backed by third-party partnerships, and verified analysis: May 2021: First power GaN company to commit to the Paris Accord’s 1.5°C target, via Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)Aug 2021: Completed Organization Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with 3rd party LCA expert EarthShift Global, quantifying Navitas Scopes 1-3 carbon impacts for all corporate and supplier impacts in 2020Jan 2022: Completed ISO14040/14044-compliant comparative Life Cycle Assessment of a GaN Power IC vs. Si high-voltage FET and GaN-based 65W USB-C charger vs. Si-based 65W USB-C charger, demonstrating significant carbon-savings benefits of GaN vs. Si devices and USB-C chargersJan 2022: Repeated Organization Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with 3rd party LCA expert EarthShift Global, quantifying Navitas Scopes 1-3 carbon impacts for all corporate and supplier-impacts in 2021Feb 2022: First power GaN company to publish a sustainability report that comprehensively quantifies the positive impact of GaN power semiconductors on climate change based on global standards, verified by EarthShift GlobalMay 2022: First semiconductor company to achieve CarbonNeutral-com...
