Navitas and Digi-Key Announce Global Online Distribution Partnership

THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn. and EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Jan. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Navitas Semiconductor and Digi-Key Electronics, a global electronic components distributor, today announced a distribution agreement to provide worldwide, 24-hour availability and accelerate market penetration and revenue ramp of GaNFast™ power ICs.

The world's first GaNFast power ICs enable power systems to simultaneously achieve MHz-frequency and highest-efficiency operation. These advances translate to smaller, faster, lighter and lower cost power conversion in mobile fast chargers and adapters, IoT, TVs, EV/Hybrid, LED lighting and new energy solutions.

"Navitas is extremely excited to partner with Digi-Key," said Stephen Oliver, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Navitas. "GaNFast ICs are the ideal, easy-to-use, robust, 'digital-in, power-out' solution and now, with Digi-Key's best-in-class service, this technology is readily available to every power electronics designer around the world."

The NV6113, NV6115 and NV6117 single GaNFast power ICs are 650V-rated and available in the tiny 5x6mm QFN package. A series of videos and technical papers introduces GaNFast technology, applications and end-customer examples. Product datasheets and application-specific design kits enable fast implementation for new and upgraded designs.

"Digi-Key is proud to offer the world's first GaNFast power ICs from Navitas. Integrating the GaN gate driver, GaN FET, and GaN logic into a single package simplifies the circuit design," said David Stein, Vice President of Global Supplier Management at Digi-Key.
