Gallium nitride (GaN) power ICs

Gallium nitride (GaN) is redefining power conversion and motion control by enabling higher switching frequencies, greater efficiency, increased power density, and improved thermal performance compared with traditional silicon-based solutions

ST’s GaN Power IC portfolio brings together integrated smart GaNs, GaN drivers, and high-voltage GaN converters to support a broad range of applications, from consumer chargers to industrial and energy systems.

Designed to simplify power-stage implementation while enhancing performance, these solutions help engineers create smaller, lighter, and more efficient systems for demanding high-voltage and high-speed applications.

A complete set of developer resources, including evaluation boards and reference designs, helps accelerate development, reduce design effort, and lower time to market and overall cost.
