Navitas Semiconductor
Founded in 2014, Navitas develops ultra-efficient gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors that are revolutionizing the field of power electronics in terms of efficiency, performance, size, cost and sustainability. The name Navitas, derived from the Latin word for energy, not only encompasses our focus on developing technologies for improved and more sustainable energy use, but also encapsulates the energy we are bringing to the estimated $13 billion power semiconductor market by 2026. GaN is growing in importance due to its ability to deliver significantly improved performance over traditional silicon semiconductors while reducing the energy and physical space required to deliver that performance. GaN technology will accelerate the transition to a sustainable future by increasing efficiency, lowering the cost of clean energy and reducing the materials and energy required to manufacture power semiconductors. Navitas is an industry leader in GaN, providing drive, control and protection in a single, easy-to-use integrated circuit (IC). Navitas GaNFast ICs are easy-to-use “digital-in, power-down” building blocks that enable up to 100 times faster switching while increasing energy savings by up to 40%. By choosing Navitas GaN, product developers are able to create power conversion and power management solutions that are smaller, lighter, faster and greener than ever before. GaNFast ICs enable the highest energy efficiency, highest integration and highest power density in applications ranging from fast chargers for smartphones, laptops and tablets to TVs, data centers, electric vehicles, EVs and renewable energy generation. Navitas is run by a management team that has an exceptional track record of innovation and business creation in the power electronics sector. The company is funded by the management team and top venture capitalists Atlantic Bridge, Capricorn Investment Group and Malibu IQ, all of whom have a proven track record of building businesses that have had a significant impact on the electronics industry.
