Navitas presents partner insights at CES
In booth #17584 (LVCC Central Hall) at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2023) in Las Vegas (5-8 January), gallium nitride (GaN) power IC and silicon carbide (SiC) technology firm Navitas Semiconductor of Torrance, CA, USA is hosting a partner speaker series ‘Navitas Presents’, giving an end-market view of how next-generation technology is replacing legacy silicon chips in fast charging and small size for ultimate portability.
Each speaker is highlighting how the use of GaN advances their own designs, with additional references to sustainability. Each live presentation is followed by Q&A, and attendees also have the chance to win a variety of prizes in the GaNFast Giveaway and OnePlus-GaNFast Gaming Experience, plus the last chance to enter to win a Tesla Model 3 Performance, worth $60,000.
‘Navitas Presents:’ has been designed to showcase ‘Planet Navitas’ – an immediate implementation of tomorrow’s sustainable, achievable, everyday world built on advanced GaN and SiC technologies. Among the topics covered are the importance of GaN-based solutions in delivering the faster charging, extended battery life, compact form factors and sustainability demanded by consumers. The significance of these requirements was underlined in a recent OnePlus survey, referenced during the OnePlus speaker sessions.
The series also includes Navitas presentations covering diversified end-uses from 20W cell-phone chargers to 2kW data-center power, 20kW electric vehicle (EV) chargers and on to MW-scale grid-tied applications.
