Efficiency. Scalability. Simplicity. Delivered with ICeGaN®.
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:
-
100 W/in³ power density
- 98% efficiency
- Compact, high-performance rack PSUs with no compromise
