Navitas powers Xiaomi GaN Charger
Navitas Semiconductor has announced that Xiaomi’s next-generation 90W GaN charger will be powered by GaNSense Control ICs.
Described as the world’s smallest 90 W charger, the device measures 34 × 45 × 34 mm and weighs only 65 grams — approximately half the size and a third the weight of typical GaN chargers.
The charger integrates Navitas’ NV9580 GaNSense Control power IC on the primary side and the NV9701 synchronous rectification controller IC on the secondary side.
The GaNSense Control family combines 4th generation GaN power with high-frequency control functionality. It is described as providing all the benefits of a monolithically integrated GaN power FET and GaN drive, plus a controller and protection features in a single surface-mount package for high-density, high-efficiency chargers, adapters, and auxiliary power designs.
“The launch of Xiaomi's 90W GaN charger marks a new milestone in our long-standing collaboration with Xiaomi,” said Charles Zha, SVP and APAC GM of Navitas. “Combining the innovation of GaNSense Control ICs and Xiaomi’s leading system expertise, we have delivered a new benchmark for ultra-portable fast-chargers. Navitas will continue our partnership with Xiaomi to continue future innovations with our GaN technology.”
