As originally published on Microwaves & RF, by Paul Wiener. The market shift toward GaN transistors in 2021 isn’t just theoretical or inspirational—it’s happening now, with major companies designing and shipping products with GaN today. Human beings are a power-hungry bunch and 2021 is the year more of us do something about it. As the…
At the recent Wireless Power Week (WPW), ITRI (Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute), and CES conferences, many companies demonstrated what’s possible in wireless power technologies, solutions to cutting the power cord, and meeting customer requirements in power level, efficiency, cost, and performance. The common thread in the innovative solutions displayed is ease of use and…
CES 2021 is officially over. Despite being a remote, virtual experience this year, CES has shown that it is still a fantastic way to get a taste of the tech year ahead. We took away several insights into future technology, gadgets, and trends for the coming year and beyond. Now that we’ve had a chance…
The increasing popularity of GaN solutions in power electronics has prompted many companies to rethink the way they build their power systems. In the last few years, GaN has proven to be reliable and pushing the boundaries in smaller, lighter, and more efficient power systems in data centers, automobiles, consumer electronics, renewable energy systems, and…
2020 is the year of the GaN charger and the announcement we made today about the Philips multi-port 65W GaN fast charging device validates that point. This 65W charger is the next generation of Philips’ 2C1A 18W product and shows big improvements from the previous version. It’s compact and offers higher power and faster charging…
