High power wireless charging for autonomous robots is an essential component in Industry 4.0 and the promise is being realised today with solutions from WiBotic. Partnering with GaN Systems, WiBotic is providing ready, off-the-shelf solutions integral to charging the rapidly growing robotics ecosystem to deliver the power levels and increased antenna range that both drones and robots demand.

GaN Systems will demonstrate the 650V, 150A GaN power transistor - according to the company it is the industry’s highest current 650V GaN power transistor - at PCIM Europe in Nuremberg, Germany on 7th-9th May, 2019 at Booth 9-507. The GS-065-150 device has 100 times lower switching losses than comparable IGBTs - that’s two orders of magnitude less, a 99% reduction in switching losses.

GaN Systems has announced that its CEO Jim Witham will deliver a keynote at PCIM Europe, the leading international exhibition and conference for power electronics and its applications, in Nuremberg, Germany fromm 7-9th May 2019. Witham’s presentation, 'GaN and Industry 4.0 – A Small Change that is Revolutionising the Industry,' will be taking place Thursday 9th May 9 at 8:45am.

GaN Systems is displaying a wide breadth of design tools including new reference designs from partners at APEC 2019. Visitors to GaN Systems Booth 553 will find the multitude of design resources that make GaN easy to incorporate into numerous power system designs, thereby expediting customer go-to-market product releases.

GaN Systems has announced the availability of the GS-065 low current (3.5-11A) transistor line. The product suite, developed for sub-1kW power applications, is targeted for consumer level power supply products such as AC adapters for gaming and workstation laptops, TV power, LED lighting, wireless power systems, and appliance motor drives.

Eggtronic will showcase its technologies to the world’s biggest exhibition of consumer technologies, CES, where all next-generation innovations are introduced to the marketplace. CES, global stage for innovation with its 170.000 participants, is the world’s gathering place for all consumer electronics lovers. Eggtronic, an innovative Italian engineering company founded in Modena in 2012, will have its booth at the show. 

  GaN transistors from GaN Systems now extend to 120A, 650V. The GaN E-HEMT increases the power density of 20 to 500 kW power conversion systems, including automotive traction inverters, very high power on-board chargers (OBC), large-scale energy storage systems, and industrial motor drives.

GaN Systems has announced the availability of a new evaluation board using what is supposedly the world’s fastest combination of GaN power transistors and power drivers. Combining what the company claims to be best-in-class GaN transistors with the fastest commercially available GaN transistor driver on the GS61004B evaluation board, the GS61004B-EVBDC evaluation platform is now available with the latest in high-speed GaN E-HEMT drivers fro...

  Prior to building hardware, power system design engineers want to be fast, accurate and confident with their simulated designs. Achieving these goals with GaN designs has become easier with GaN Systems’ new set of LTSpice models. Increasing efficiency and power density requires proper layout and understanding of the characteristics of these fast transistors.

  GaN Systems is doing anything but slow down this summer, as after APEC and PCIM, power engineers continue to be inundated with GaN product and industry developments. The number of application articles published about GaN transistors is increasing rather than waning. 

Global provider of GaN power transistors, GaN Systems, has announced the closing of an investment round led by BMW’s investment arm, BMW i Ventures.
