At the electronica 2018 event in Munich, Germany (12-16 November), gallium nitride technology start-up Exagan of Grenoble and Toulouse, France (founded in 2014 with support from CEA-Leti and Soitec) is demonstrating new high- and low-power solutions based on its G-FET family of power transistors and its G-DRIVE series of intelligent and fast-switching solutions featuring an integrated driver and transistor in a single package (launched in June). Showcased on stand #110 (hall C3), the new applications leverage easy-to-design-in GaN technology to boost power efficiency in a diverse range of applications including servers and USB chargers.
Also, during the electronica Automotive Conference at the ICM – Internationales Congress Center München, on 12 November (12-12.30) president & CEO Frédéric Dupont is giving a presentation ‘From Evolution to Revolution: Disrupting Automotive Power Conversion with GaN’ describing how GaN enables significantly smaller, lighter and more cost-effective system-level power solutions and why this technology is playing a major role in the automotive industry’s transition to more electric vehicles (EVs).
