Navitas Leads SiC and GaN Technology at Bodo’s Wide Bandgap Event

TORRANCE, Calif., Nov. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor  (Nasdaq: NVTS), the only pure-play, next-generation power semiconductor company and industry leader in GaN power ICs and SiC technology, has confirmed that the company will present two papers and participate in an expert panel at the virtual ‘Wide Bandgap Event’ (Nov. 29^th – Dec. 2^nd) held by Bodo’s Power Systems.

Bodo’s annual Wide Bandgap Event covers silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN) and related topics including passives and magnetics, plus test and measurement. Attendees are drawn from a wide audience including both established and start-up power electronics companies in EV, solar, data center and industrial markets, plus industry R&D experts.

GaN and SiC deliver higher efficiency at faster switching speeds, with smaller system size and lower costs than legacy silicon chips, across a diverse $22B/yr market opportunity stretching from mobile ultra-fast chargers to data centers, EV, industrial and new energy / renewable markets. These next-gen technologies are expected to reduce CO₂ production by up to 6 Gtons/yr by 2050.

Navitas’ participation at this year’s online event includes:

• November 29^th (SiC day)
  • “From 650V to 6.5 kV, GeneSiC MOSFETs Drive Innovation”, Llew Vaughan-Edmunds, senior director of technical marketing
  • “SiC Panel Session”, Llew Vaughan-Edmunds
• November 30^th (GaN day)
  • “GaNSense™ ICs Drive Motor Innovation”, Alfred Hesener, senior director of industrial applications
    

“Whether in-person or online, Bodo’s Wide Bandgap Event has become an important fixture in the power electronics calendar,” said Stephen Oliver, VP, Corporate Marketing & Investor Relations at Navitas. “This is a critical expansion year for Navitas, as it not only allows us to provide updates on integrated GaNFast chips but also highlight the best-in-class technology and specialist SiC expertise of the GeneSiC team.”
