Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), the industry-leader in
gallium nitride (GaN) power integrated circuits has announced that
its GaNFast technology has been selected to charge Motorola’s
flagship motorola edge+ (2022) smartphone. The TurboPower 68W
(MC-681) charger has arrived in the US as a standalone accessory to
bring a fast charging experience on top of the amazing battery life
of the new edge+.
The new motorola edge+, with the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 1 Mobile
Platform, blazing-fast 5G and WiFi 6E and 6.7” OLED screen has a
powerful 4,800 mAh battery. When used with the TurboPower 68W fast
charger (sold separately), you can charge over 50% in just 15
minutes* for a superb user-charging experience.
The TurboPower 68W is a great all-in-one travel-charger option
for USB-C phones, tablets, and laptops. Thanks to efficiencies from
the GaNFast power IC, it is notably smaller than most adapters in
its power range. At only 58 x 41 x 28 mm (66 cc), the TurboPower
68W achieves a power density of 1 W/cc at a featherweight 95 g for
ultra-portability. Built-in protection from power surges, extreme
heat, and other dangers ensure that the smartphone or tablet
remains safe while charging. High-quality design and manufacturing
enable a 2-year limited manufacturer's warranty for the new
charger.
The TurboPower 68W (MC-681) was jointly designed and built for
Motorola by Salom, who is now selling them in the US. "The
TurboPower 68W is our most powerful addition to the Motorola
Charging line-up to date as Navitas’ GaN technology advances keep
driving TurboPower speeds higher while maintaining compact form
factors," said Joseph Reisinger, President of Salom America
Company. “Customers will be delighted with the faster charge times
and portability."
GaN is a next-generation semiconductor technology that runs up
to 20x faster than legacy silicon chips. Navitas’ proprietary GaN
power ICs integrate GaN power (FET) and GaN drive plus control,
sensing and protection in a single SMT package. The result is
easy-to-use, high-speed, high-performance ‘digital-in, power-out’
building blocks that deliver up to 3x faster charging in half the
size and weight, and with up to 40% energy savings compared with
earlier silicon solutions.
“Motorola customers have high standards, and GaN delivers the
high speed and small size to exceed those expectations,” said Gene
Sheridan, CEO and co-founder of Navitas. “GaN provides
next-generation performance while ensuring a focus on efficiency
and sustainability – another Motorola-Navitas shared goal. Every
GaNFast power IC shipped reduces CO2 emissions by 4 kg.”**
