From the Desk of the CEO

Hello Colleagues,

I’ve been involved with GaN and the GaN semiconductor industry for many years. Over time, I have had a front-row seat to see the technology move from experimentation in universities and labs to a mainstream role in diverse and globally essential markets such as EVs, solar energy systems, data centers, and consumer electronics.


According to Yole Intelligence, a research and strategy consulting group, GaN’s revenue for power applications is estimated to grow to $2B by 2028. This indicates that GaN for power management applications has an accumulative market potential of over $6B US dollars over the next five years, with several segments at their inflection points.  I’m proud that GaN Systems – and our customers and partners – have played a vital role in the technology innovation and business partnerships that have paved the way for this high level of acceptance.


As many of you may know, GaN Systems and Infineon Technologies recently announced that the companies have signed a definitive agreement under which Infineon will acquire GaN Systems. With our joint expertise in providing superior solutions, we will optimally leverage the potential of GaN. This combination enables maximum growth capability to serve the accelerating adoption of GaN in a wide range of our target markets. I am very proud of what GaN Systems has accomplished and cannot wait to help write the next chapter together with Infineon. 

 

Warm Regards,

Jim Witham

800V-OBC-v2

The Revolutionary GaN-based 800V On-Board Charger (OBC) Reference Design

At the recent 2023 Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC), we unveiled our innovative GaN-Based 11kW/800V On-Board Charger (OBC) reference design.

It is impressively compact, delivering 36% higher power density and 15% lower Bill of Materials (BOM) cost than the system built with silicon carbide (SiC) transistors – a great value proposition. Outside of automotive, in the UPS and industrial areas, visitors were also very interested in this solution. Everyone was amazed by the small size. Read more
