Navitas Semiconductor has announced that its participation in APEC 2022 (Houston, March 20^th-24^th) will highlight further technical and market leadership in mobile fast chargers plus expansion into higher-power markets including data center, solar and EV, plus show the critical sustainability contribution that GaN delivers, reducing our dependance on fossil fuels. APEC attendees will also have the chance to win leading-edge fast chargers in the “GaNFast Giveaway” and enter the company’s competition to win a Tesla Model 3 Performance, worth over $60,000.

Since its inception in 1985, the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) has become the world’s premier event in power electronics, with high-caliber, peer-reviewed technical content from industry and academia. The APEC 2016 keynote by Navitas CTO / COO Dan Kinzer was the public debut for startup Navitas and GaNFast power ICs. 2022 will be Navitas’ first APEC as a listed company after IPO on Nasdaq in October 2021.

GaN is a next-generation semiconductor technology that runs up to 20x faster than legacy silicon and enables up to 3x more power and 3x faster charging in half the size and weight. Navitas’ GaNFast™ power ICs integrate GaN power and drive plus protection and control to deliver simple, small, fast and efficient performance.

The Navitas exhibition booth will feature the latest GaNFast power IC technology including the CES-Innovation-Award-winning GaNSense technology. Mobile fast and ultra-fast chargers from Dell, Lenovo, Xiaomi, LG, Lenovo, vivo and many others will be displayed from the more than 160 in production today, plus new names to be revealed. Going beyond chargers, new hardware will show advances in higher-power applications such as high-efficiency data center power and fast-charging electric vehicles (EV). Next-generation prototype hardware and roadmap technology will be shared with customer partners under NDA in an adjacent private suite.
