Navitas Unveils Industry's First 8.5 kW AI Data Center Power Supply at electronica 2024

Navitas Leads Power Semiconductor Innovation at electronica 2024

Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), a leader in next-generation power semiconductor technology, is set to showcase groundbreaking advancements in gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) technologies at the upcoming electronica 2024 event in Munich, Germany 1 2. The company's exhibition, themed "Planet Navitas," will highlight how these innovative technologies are revolutionizing various sectors, from AI data centers to electric vehicles and renewable energy.

World's First 8.5 kW AI Data Center Power Supply

At the forefront of Navitas' presentation is the world's first 8.5 kW power supply designed for AI and hyperscale data centers. This cutting-edge solution utilizes high-power GaNSafe power ICs and Gen-3 Fast SiC MOSFETs, demonstrating the company's commitment to addressing the growing power demands of artificial intelligence infrastructure 1 2.

Advancements in SiC Technology

Navitas will also showcase its GeneSiC technology, which offers industry-leading performance over a wide temperature range. The Gen-3 Fast GeneSiC MOSFETs, developed using a proprietary 'trench-assisted planar' technology, provide superior robustness, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness compared to competitors. These MOSFETs enable up to 25°C lower case temperature and up to 3x longer life than other SiC products, making them ideal for high-power applications in AI data centers and electric vehicle charging 1 2.

Expanding Product Portfolio

The company's exhibition will feature several other innovations, including:

GaNSense™ Motor Drives ICs for home appliances and industrial applications
650V bi-directional GaN demonstrator for next-generation, high-efficiency power solutions
SiCPAK™ modules for high-power markets such as power grids, renewables, and EV charging 1 2

Industry Impact and Market Projections

Navitas' advancements come at a crucial time for the power semiconductor industry. The legacy silicon power IC market is valued at $22 billion per year, with wide bandgap technologies like GaN and SiC poised to capture a significant share. According to Yole Group, GaN and SiC products are expected to make up 30% of the power semiconductor market by 2027 1 2.

Environmental Benefits

In line with its mission to "Electrify our World™," Navitas emphasizes the environmental impact of its technologies. The company claims that its low-carbon-footprint GaN and SiC solutions have the potential to save over 6 Gigatons of CO2 per year by 2050, highlighting the role of power semiconductors in addressing climate change 1 2.

Navitas' Market Position

As the only pure-play, next-generation power-semiconductor company, Navitas has positioned itself at the forefront of the industry. With over 250 patents issued or pending and the industry's first 20-year GaNFast warranty, the company is well-equipped to lead the transition to more efficient and powerful semiconductor solutions 1 2.

electronica 2024 will take place from November 12-15 at the Trade Fair Center Messe München, where attendees can visit the "Planet Navitas" booth in Hall C3, #129, to explore these innovations firsthand 1 2.
