VisIC closes $26m round B investment
VisIC Technologies Ltd of Ness Ziona, Israel – a fabless supplier of power conversion devices based on gallium nitride (GaN) transistors – has announced the second closing of its Round B funding, securing $26m. The round was led by a global semiconductor leader, with Hyundai Motor Company and Kia (HKMC) joining as a strategic investor.
The lead investor’s focus on advancing critical semiconductor technologies complements VisIC’s proprietary D3GaN platform, designed to deliver efficiency, scalability and reliability for automotive drivetrains. HKMC’s participation underscores its commitment to integrating GaN technology into mass-production EV platforms.
Traditional silicon-based solutions struggle to deliver the efficiency and power density required for next-generation EV platforms, especially at higher voltages. While silicon carbide (SiC) devices offer improved performance, their high cost and complex manufacturing limit widespread adoption.
VisIC says that its GaN-based D3GaN technology addresses these limitations by enabling smaller, lighter and more efficient EV traction inverters — unlocking new possibilities for both 400V and 800V architectures.
The new capital should accelerate VisIC’s roadmap, including:
- optimization, qualification and release of Gen3 750V GaN dice and power modules;
- development of Gen4 1350V GaN technology, supporting the full spectrum of EV designs;
- stabilization of the supply chain and ramp-up of GaN product delivery for EV traction inverters;
- expansion into emerging 800V data-center power requirements, leveraging the same advanced GaN platform.
“Our D3GaN technology is redefining power electronics for electric vehicles, and the support of our strategic partners accelerates our mission to deliver high-efficiency, scalable solutions for the next generation of mobility,” says VisIC’s CEO Tamara Baksht.
“Partnering with VisIC enables us to integrate cutting-edge GaN power technologies into our EV platforms, enhancing efficiency, reliability and performance as we shape the future of electric transportation,” says Hyundai Motor Company and Kia.
