    TORRANCE, Calif., Jan. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), the only pure-play, next-generation power semiconductor company, today announced that their GaNSense half-bridge power ICs (NV62xx) have been awarded Power Product of the Year by Electronic Products Magazine.

    Gallium nitride (GaN) GaNFast™ power ICs - with proprietary monolithically-integrated GaN power and drive - first entered mass production in 2018. The added-feature, higher-performance GaNSense half-bridge range now integrates two GaN FETs with drive, control, sensing, autonomous protection, and level-shift isolation, to create a fundamental power-stage building block for power electronics. This revolutionary single-package solution reduces component count and footprint by over 60% compared to existing discretes, which cuts system cost, size, weight, and complexity.        

    The Product of the Year awards, now in their 47th year, recognize outstanding products that represent any of the following qualities: a significant advancement in a technology or its application, an exceptionally innovative design, a substantial achievement in price/performance and improvements in design performance.

    “Thank you to Electronic Products for this extremely competitive award, reflecting Navitas’ commitment to innovation, performance and reliability,” said Dan Kinzer, Navitas COO/CTO and co-founder. “GaN power ICs established the mobile fast and ultra-fast charging market, with new phones charging 0-100% in a lightning-fast 9 minutes. The GaNSense half-bridge drives that performance even higher, plus has proven successful in home appliance and motor drive, with millions shipped each quarter.”

    GaNSense ICs offer multiple efficiency and reliability benefits in an easy-to-use, low-profile, low-inductance, industry-standard 6 x 8 mm PQFN. The NV62xx family enables fast time-to-prototype and fast time-to-revenue, and is designed to enable the next generation of soft-switching topologies and exploit GaN’s high-speed, MHz+ fast-switching capability.
