OTTAWA, Canada – GaN Systems announced that the company’s power transistors are now powering Renesas Electronics’ new automotive 48V/12V Bidirectional DC/DC Converter to provide power density improvements. Renesas’ converter utilizes GaN Systems’ GS61008P, a 100V enhancement mode GaN-on-silicon power transistor designed to enable a 46% reduction in system size.

GaN Systems, a global supplier of GaN (gallium nitride) power semiconductors, and PowerSphyr Inc., a wireless energy company, has collaborated to deliver a portfolio of end-to-end wireless power solutions (30-Watt, 100-Watt, and 500-Watt) for industrial and automotive applications. The new portfolio, combined with enhanced levels of customer service and support, helps industrial and automotive customers obtain compact, high-performance, low-cos wireless power solutions.

OTTAWA, Canada and HSINCHU, Taiwan, R.O.C., February 23, 2022 –GaN Systems, the global leader in GaN power semiconductors, announced today it has expanded its Asia presence with a 3X increase in its operation in Taiwan. With a 3X growth in revenue from the many consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and data centers & industrial power supply producers embracing GaN Systems power transistors, more people and space were necessary. 

GaN Systems and Axign debuted a new GaN-based 500W Class-D audio amplifier, merging GaN Systems’ GaN power transistors and Axign’s Class-D controller.

The latest Starkrimson® product line from Orchard Audio highlights the sound quality and amplifier performance delivered by GaN power transistors.

GaN power semiconductors are a key ingredient to achieve the small size, lightweight, and high efficiency required in the next generation of high-performance electric vehicles. Under the terms of the agreement, GaN Systems will provide capacity for multiple applications in series production. The guaranteed volumes by GaN Systems are a key building block for reliability in the supply chain for automotive players like BMW.
