Navitas Celebrates 50,000,000th GaN Shipment with vivo
May 09 2022 - 8:30AM
Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), the industry-leader in
gallium nitride (GaN) power integrated circuits (ICs) announced an
industry-first achievement of 50,000,000 units shipped – with zero
reported GaN-related field failures. To celebrate, a Navitas GaN
wafer was presented to vivo – pioneers in fast charging.
vivo’s vision of cooperating with Navitas brings more
convenience to users through leading technology, making chargers
faster, lighter, and more environmentally friendly –
highly-consistent with Navitas’ iconic mission and vision to
‘Electrify Our World™’.
In January and April 2022, vivo and Navitas aligned their
visions for fast and ultra-fast charging with stunning new products
successfully launched in mass production, all adopting Navitas’
next generation GaN power ICs – GaNFast™️ with GaNSense™️. As a
dedicated early-adopter of GaNSense technology, vivo first launched
a 120W in-box ultra-fast charger, shipped with one of vivo’s latest
flagship phone model, enabling 0-100% charging speed in only 19
minutes. Then, a pioneering dual-USB-C, 80W GaN charger shipped
with vivo’s first 8”-screen foldable phone, supporting simultaneous
fast-charging of two devices at a featherweight 122 g. With a power
density of 1 W/cc, and fast-charge from 0-50% in only 17 minutes,
this represents another alliance-milestone of ultra-portability and
fast-charging.
"The cooperation with Navitas kicks off a new era for vivo and
its historical upgrade of mobile-phone charging speed,” said Senior
Vice President & CTO at vivo, Yujian Shi. “Users can experience
ultra-fast, ultra-portable charging on our new flagship phones
thanks to Navitas’ GaNFast power ICs. We’re excited to partner with
Navitas to leverage GaN technology for our customers – including
GaN’s environmental benefits.”
Since full qualification in 2018, Navitas has pioneered a
revolution in power electronics, and is the industry-leader in fast
and ultra-fast chargers for consumer mobile applications. Recent
announcements on high-power IC availability and dedicated
design-centers for data center and EV applications reinforce its #1
position in GaN and growth beyond chargers, into high-reliability
systems – backed by an industry-first, 20-year limited
warranty.
“In terms of GaN’s market adoption over legacy silicon chips,
we’ve gone from “if” and “when?” to “Now!”,” said Gene Sheridan,
Navitas co-founder and CEO. “vivo is a pioneer in fast charging and
we are very happy to present the 50M award to vivo for their
partnership and vision. The same pioneering spirit can be seen from
customers in our high-power expansion markets including data
center, solar and EV applications. With over 50 million units
shipped, each saving 4 kg of CO2, the faster customers can adopt
GaN, the better it will be for our environment. GaN could save up
to 2.6 Gtons CO2 per year by 2050.”
