Navitas Semiconductor, GigaDevice announce partnership

Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS) has announced a new strategic partnership with GigaDevice to create a joint-lab for integrating and tailoring Navitas’ GaNFast ICs & GigaDevice’s Microcontrollers, targeting AI data centers, EVs, Solar, and Energy Saving Systems. As GaN & SiC power technologies transition power conversion to faster, lighter, and more compact solutions, such as single-stage BDS converters, MCUs need to be optimized to maximize these extremely fast switching characteristics, such as high processing speeds and fast I/O capabilities. A co-developed solution of Navitas’ power and GigaDevice’s control will further accelerate the adoption of GaN & SiC into higher-power markets. The joint R&D laboratory will integrate both company’s technical product and system-level application expertise to drive innovative advancements in intelligent and efficient power management solutions. Integrating Navitas’ next-generation, clean-energy, GaNFast technology with GigaDevice’s advanced high-performance MCU products will enable a new level of integration, performance, and high-power-density digital-power solutions.
