Navitas founder and CEO Gene Sheridan comments: “As the world seeks to address the challenges of climate change and deliver on promises for net-zero emissions there is a critical need for next-gen semiconductors that deliver application benefits of energy savings, small size, light weight, high power and faster charging at a great system cost. With over 65,000,000 GaN units shipped, zero reported GaN field failures, and an industry-first 20-year limited warranty, this next-gen technology is aggressively taking share from legacy silicon.”

He adds: “With the recent addition of the GeneSiC family of advanced, higher voltage silicon carbide technologies to our existing GaN portfolio we can further accelerate company growth by providing comprehensive, small-form-factor, energy-efficient solutions across mobile, consumer, data center, EV, solar, wind, smart grid, and industrial markets.”
