Cloud computing, AI, and 5G are evolving rapidly, placing immense pressure on telecommunications networks and data centres to perform efficiently and cost-effectively. Traditional power electronics are struggling to keep up with growing size, power, and cost demands. Meeting today’s infrastructure needs requires a new approach. GaN technology delivers smaller, more efficient, and higher-performing solutions — built for the future.

Why GaN? Smarter power for smarter infrastructure

As computing power needs escalate, so does the need to deliver more power per unit volume – consuming more rack space. Gallium nitride (GaN) is the breakthrough the industry has been waiting for.

Compared to traditional silicon (Si) or silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, GaN provides:

• More efficiency at higher switching frequencies
• Much greater power density
• Compact system size with reduced losses

A clear advantage over Si and SiC

Silicon-based power supplies typically deliver 60–70 W/in³ at 96% efficiency. To achieve the Open Rack V3 (ORV3) 97.5% efficiency requirement, they require a 40% larger size – dropping power density to a mere 50 W/in³.

SiC switches offer higher efficiency with added complexity, cost, and size.

GaN revolutionises:

• Over 100 W/in³ power density
• 98% efficiency
• Compact, high-performance rack PSUs with no compromise
