Navitas in Japan: Next-gen AI Data Center, EV, Industrial, and Fast Charging SiC and GaN Showcased at Techno-Frontier

TORRANCE, Calif., July 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), the industry leader in next-generation GaNFast™ gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC™ silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, today announced it will team up with its Japanese sales and marketing partner, J Rep, at Japan’s largest power electronics trade show Techno-Frontier to highlight solutions including a hybrid GaN-SiC AI Server PSU, a 3-phase GaN industrial motor drive requiring no heatsink, and a GaN-based 8K-LED TV power supply which enables the thinnest and highest-efficiency solution.

Techno-Frontier is a prestigious Japanese technology trade show, established in 1981, and the country’s only exhibition for power supplies and components. Held at the Tokyo Big Sight Exhibition Center, Techno-Frontier will host over 400 exhibitors, with 34,000 visitors expected.

Navitas and J Rep will highlight key technologies and new products including GaNSafe™ – the world’s most-protected, most reliable, and highest-performance GaN power IC for high-power, mission-critical applications, such as AI data centers. Gen-4 GaNSense™ Half-Bridge ICs – the most integrated GaN devices, and Gen-3 Fast GeneSiC power FETs, using ‘trench-assisted planar’ technology for world-leading performance over temperature, ideal in EV and industrial systems.

“With the ability to operate at higher efficiencies and frequencies, Navitas’ GaN and SiC next generation, clean energy semiconductors bring significant benefits to AI data centers, EV, energy storage systems (ESS), motor control, and fast charging applications,” said Navitas’ Japan Representative Mr. Takashi Murayama. “Techno-Frontier provides an ideal platform for Navitas to showcase these next-generation technologies to system engineers and key decision makers in these sectors, and show how they enable these fast-growing markets.”

Techno-Frontier takes place from July 24th-26th at Tokyo Big Sight Exhibition Center, at 3-11-1 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo, Japan 135-0063. Information on Navitas’ SiC and GaN products will be displayed at J Rep’s booth (Hall 3, Booth 3F-16). In-person meetings can be scheduled via J Rep: tsumura@j-rep.com.
