High-efficiency motor drives for home and industrial systems

Motor control systems are evolving — demanding higher performance, lower energy loss, and quieter, more compact designs. ICeGaN® technology delivers precisely that. Whether in home appliances, HVAC systems, or industrial automation, our GaN-based devices help customers achieve greater efficiency, reduce system costs, and meet rising expectations for silent, reliable operation.

Superior thermal performance: GaN’s reduced heat generation compared to silicon devices can eliminate the need for bulky heat sinks, lowering system size and cost.

• High efficiency at all loads: Even at lower switching speeds, ICeGaN® outperforms traditional IGBTs — especially at light loads — delivering more power with less energy loss.
• Quieter operation: Higher switching frequencies enable smoother, low-noise performance — ideal for both consumer and industrial environments.
• Simplified integration: ICeGaN® is designed with engineering teams in mind — offering compatibility with existing gate drivers and tunable slew rates for easier design-in and faster transition from legacy solutions.
• Compact, cost-effective designs: The efficiency and thermal benefits of GaN enable smaller PCBs and reduced BOMs, supporting more integrated and space-saving solutions.

From R&D to full production, CGD’s ICeGaN® solutions offer a smarter path to next-generation motor drives.
