Electric and hybrid-electric vehicles that incorporate our company’s latest automotive-qualified gallium nitride (GaN) power-management technology will be able to charge faster and drive farther than automotive systems based on traditional silicon-based charging technology. Enabling automobile manufacturers to remove these barriers to widespread adoption of HEV/EVs is a major step toward lowering emissions that affect air quality and climate worldwide.

Our insatiable appetite for electricity – from data servers to vehicle electrification to the Industrial Internet of Things – brings challenges to pack more power in smaller spaces, all while reducing system costs. “Helping the world do more with less power is critical, because our desire for more data and more connected devices is not slowing down,” said Steve Lambouses, vice president and general manager of High Voltage Power. 

The future of electronics depends on power-management innovations. Gallium nitride promises to significantly improve many aspects of power management, generation and delivery.

Driven by applications such as data centers, automotive and industrial, spending on electricity has neared spending on oil products. To support these trends, designers are utilizing semiconductor solutions, leading to the worldwide purchase of 824 billion semiconductors in 2016.
