<\/p>\nNavitas unveils new 100\u00a0V GaN FETs, alongside 650\u00a0V GaN and high voltage SiC devices, purpose-built for NVIDIA\u2019s 800\u00a0VDC AI factory architecture, delivering breakthrough efficiency, power density, and performance.<\/p>\n
TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), the industry leader in next-generation GaNFast\u2122 gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC\u2122 silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, announced progress in its development of advanced medium and high 800 VDC voltage GaN and SiC power devices to enable the 800\u00a0VDC power architecture announced by NVIDIA for next-generation AI factory computing platforms.<\/p>\n
With the emergence of the \u2018AI factory\u2019, a new class of data center purpose-built for large-scale, synchronous AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, has introduced a set of power challenges. Traditional enterprise and cloud data centers, which rely on legacy 54\u202fV in-rack power distribution, are unable to longer meet the multi-megawatt rack densities required by today\u2019s accelerated computing platforms. These challenges call for a fundamental architectural shift.<\/p>\n
800 VDC power distribution provides:<\/p>\n
Higher efficiency by reducing resistive losses and copper usageScalable infrastructure to deliver MW-scale rack power with highly compact solutionsGlobal alignment with the IEC\u2019s low-voltage DC (LVDC) classification (\u22641,500 VDC)Simplified power distribution with efficient thermal management<\/p>\n
The 800\u00a0VDC architecture enables direct conversion from 13.8\u00a0kVAC utility power to 800\u00a0VDC within the data center power room or perimeter. By leveraging solid-state transformers (SSTs) and industrial-grade rectifiers, this approach eliminates multiple traditional AC\/DC and DC\/DC conversion stages, maximizing energy efficiency, reducing losses, and improving overall system reliability.<\/p>\n
The 800\u00a0VDC distribution directly powers IT racks, eliminating the need for additional AC-DC conversion stages, and is stepped down through two high-efficiency DC-DC stages (800\u00a0VDC to 54\u00a0V\/12\u00a0VDC, and then to point-of-load GPU voltages), to drive advanced infrastructure such as the NVIDIA Rubin Ultra platform.<\/p>\n
These state-of-the-art AI factories demand unprecedented levels of power density, efficiency, and scalability, which can be enabled by Navitas\u2019 high-performance GaNFast and GeneSiC technologies.<\/p>\n

As a\u00a0pure-play wide bandgap power semiconductor company, Navitas delivers breakthrough GaN and SiC technologies that enable high-efficiency and high-power density power conversion across every stage of the AI data center, from the utility grid to the GPU.<\/p>\n
Navitas\u2019 new 100\u202fV GaN FET portfolio delivers superior\u00a0efficiency, power density, and thermal performance\u00a0in advanced dual-sided cooled packages. These FETs are specifically optimized for the lower-voltage DC-DC stages on GPU power boards, where ultra-high density and thermal management are critical to meet the demands of next-generation AI compute platforms. Samples, datasheets, and evaluation boards are available for qualified customers.<\/p>\n
Additionally, these high efficiency 100V GaN FETs are fabricated on a 200\u202fmm GaN-on-Si process through a new strategic partnership with Power Chip, enabling scalable, high-volume manufacturing.<\/p>\n
Navitas\u2019 650\u202fV GaN portfolio includes a new line of high-power GaN FETs, alongside advanced GaNSafe\u2122 power ICs, which integrate control, drive, sensing, and built-in protection features. This ensures exceptional robustness and reliability, supporting the demanding performance and safety requirements of next-generation AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n
GaNSafe\u2122 is the world\u2019s safest GaN platform, featuring ultra-fast short-circuit protection (maximum 350\u202fns response), 2\u202fkV ESD protection on all pins, elimination of negative gate drive, and programmable slew-rate control. All these features are controlled with 4-pins, allowing the package to be treated like a discrete GaN FET, requiring no VCC\u00a0pin.<\/p>\n
Enabled by over 20 years of SiC innovation leadership, GeneSiC\u2122 proprietary \u2018trench-assisted planar\u2019 provides exceptional performance\u00a0over temperature, delivering high-speed, cool-running operation for high-power, high-reliability applications. GeneSiC technology offers the industry\u2019s broadest voltage range, stretching from 650 V to 6,500 V and has been implemented in multiple megawatt-scale energy storage and grid-tied inverter projects, including collaborations with the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE).<\/p>\n
\u201cAs NVIDIA drives transformation in AI infrastructure, we\u2019re proud to support this shift with advanced GaN and SiC power solutions that enable the efficiency, scalability, and reliability required by next-generation data centers,\u201d said Chris Allexandre, President and CEO of Navitas. \u201cAs the industry moves rapidly toward megawatt-scale AI computing platforms, the need for more efficient, scalable, and reliable power delivery becomes absolutely critical. The transition from legacy 54\u202fV architectures to 800\u202fVDC is not just evolutionary, it\u2019s transformational.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNavitas is undergoing a fundamental transformation, driven by the convergence of GaN and SiC technologies to power the world\u2019s most advanced systems. From grid to GPU, our focus now extends far beyond mobile, as we address the megawatt-scale demands of AI factories, smart energy infrastructure, and industrial platforms with differentiated, high-performance power solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
