Navitas to Unveil Breakthrough Advances in GaN and SiC for AI Data Center, EV, and Mobile Applications at APEC 2025

TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (Nasdaq: NVTS), the only pure-play, next-generation power semiconductor company and industry leader in gallium nitride (GaN) power ICs and silicon carbide (SiC) technology, has announced it will attend and highlight the latest advances in GaN and SiC wide bandgap technologies for AI data center EV, and mobile applications. Additionally, Navitas will highlight its latest ‘paradigm in power conversion’, on the 12th of March.

APEC takes place at Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center from March 16^th to 20^th. The company's “Planet Navitas” stand (Booth #1107) will showcase the company’s mission to ‘Electrify our World™’ by advancing the transition from legacy silicon to next-generation, clean energy GaN and SiC power semiconductors. These technologies are designed for high-growth markets that demand the highest efficiency and power density. The shift from silicon to GaN and SiC technologies has the potential to save over 6,000 megatons of CO₂ per year by 2050. Recent Navitas breakthroughs that will be highlighted on the stand include:

• Navitas’ breakthrough that will create a paradigm shift in power conversion – full details will be on the 12th of March.

• : See the world’s first 8.5 kW OCP power solution achieving 98% efficiency for AI and hyperscale data centers. Featuring high-power GaNSafe™ power ICs and Gen-3 Fast SiC MOSFETs in 3-Phase Interleaved CCM Totem-Pole PFC and 3-Phase LLC topologies to provide the highest efficiency, performance, and lowest component count.

• : Navitas delivers efficient 4.5 kW power in the smallest power-supply form-factor for the latest AI GPUs that demand 3x more power per rack. The optimized design uses high-power GaNSafe ICs and Gen-3 Fast SiC MOSFETs enabling the world’s highest power density with 137 W/in³ and over 97% efficiency.

• ‘ Optimized for AI Data Center Power Supplies: Combined with high-power GaNSafe™ and Gen-3 ‘Fast’ SiC MOSFETs to enable PFC peak efficiencies of 99.3% and reduce power losses by 30% compared to existing solutions.

• Mid-voltage GaNFast FETs targeting 48V AI data center power supplies, next-generation EV platforms EV and AI-based robotics, to enable high-frequency, high-efficiency, and high-power density power conversion systems.

• ™: Simple. Fast. Integrated: A new generation of highly integrated GaN power ICs that will further simplify and speed the development of small form factor, high-power-density applications by offering the highest level of integration and thermal performance. Target applications include chargers for mobile devices and laptops, TV power supplies, and lighting systems of up to 500W.

•  with ‘trench-assisted planar’ technology: Enabled by over 20 years of SiC innovation leadership, GeneSiC™ technology leads on performance with the Gen-3 ‘Fast’ SiC MOSFETs with ‘trench-assisted planar’ technology. This proprietary technology provides world-leading performance over temperature, delivering cool-running, fast-switching, and superior robustness to support faster charging EVs and up to 3x more powerful AI data centers.

• SiCPAK™ High-Power Modules – Built for Endurance and Performance: Utilizing industry-leading ‘trench-assisted planar’-gate technology and epoxy-resin potting for increased power cycling and long-lasting reliability, SiCPAK modules offer compact form factors and provide cost-effective, power-dense solutions for applications including EV charging, drives, solar, and energy storage systems (ESS).

• New Advancements in our Leading GaNFast & GeneSiC technology:
  • GeneSiC MOSFETs specifically optimized for EV traction modules with additional screening and gold metallization for sintering.
  • GaNSense™ motor drive ICs with bi-directional loss-less current sensing, voltage sensing, and temperature protection, further enhancing performance and robustness beyond what is achievable by any discrete GaN or discrete silicon device. 

Navitas will participate and present in the which showcases the latest work in all areas of power electronics.
