EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Navitas Semiconductor announced today that it will give away $50,000 worth of leading-edge. gallium nitride (GaN) fast-chargers at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020 in Las Vegas. GaN is a next-generation semiconductor technology that runs up to 20x faster than old, slow silicon (Si), and enables 3x more power, which means 3x faster charging in the same size.
"The GaNFast Give-Away is clear proof that GaN is firmly established as a proven, mass-production technology and taking market share from silicon solutions," explained Gene Sheridan, Navitas CEO, continuing "Smartphone chargers are increasing in power and as consumers demand a faster-charging experience, the small size and light weight of high-frequency GaN power solutions - with retail pricing equivalent to old Si chargers – is compelling."
Navitas will showcase the world's leading GaNFast™ power IC technology, in addition to the announcement of major consumer brand partners adopting the technology at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020. Over 25 leading-edge mobile chargers and adapters featuring GaNFast power ICs will be on display. There are 3 different ways that visitors can win one of the 1,000 chargers in the $50,000 GaNFast Give-Away:
1. "GaNFast Give-Away!": The first 1,000 CES attendees to trade-in their old slow, silicon charger, capture a photo with the GaNFast team and connect with GaNFast and charger-partner social media options will get a free GaNFast charger of their choice.
2. "Beat the GaNMan!": Race against the mysterious GaNMan in our high-speed race simulator; If you are GaNFast, you can win your own free GaN charger & the fastest lap of the show gets $1,000.
3. "Are You GaNFast?": Experience the fast-charging experience using your own mobile device & a chance to win your own free GaN charger.
The free GaNFast chargers range from 27W to 65W with USB-C and USB-A options to cover a wide range of smartphone, tablet and laptops. All of the old chargers collected will be recycled.
"We expect an excited CES crowd at the Navitas booth to experience GaNFast technology and to trade-in those old, slow, bulky, silicon adapters to upgrade to the next-generation GaN experience for free", said Stephen Oliver, Navitas VP Sales & Marketing, adding "CES is the ultimate showcase, and GaNFast chargers are the ultimate in high-performance power for users who work hard, play hard, charge less – and meet the GaNMan!"
The $50,000 GaNFast Give-Away is enabled by the generous support of GaNFast partners, including: Baseus (Shenzhen Times Innovation Technology Co., Ltd., LVCC South Hall 4, #36704), Eggtronic (LVCC South Hall 4, #36929), Elixage (Xentris Wireless, LVCC South Hall 4, #36929), and RAVpower (Sunvalley Group).
