Navitas’ GaN & SiC Devices Power Dell’s™ Family of AI Notebooks
Rhea-AI Summary
Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS) announced the integration of its GaNFast and GeneSiC power technologies into Dell's family of notebook adapters, ranging from 60W to 360W. The technology enables 3x more power and 3x faster charging in half the size and weight compared to traditional silicon power devices.
The implementation supports Dell's new AI notebooks featuring Neural Processor Units (NPUs). The adapters demonstrate significant environmental benefits, requiring up to 50% less plastic and utilizing post-recycled materials. Each GaNFast power IC saves 4 kg CO2, while each SiC MOSFET saves 25 kg CO2 compared to legacy silicon chips.
The collaboration between Dell and Navitas, which began in 2020, focuses on improving charging speed, efficiency, size, weight, and environmental impact.

GaNFast™ and GeneSiC™ power technologies deliver portability, efficiency, and sustainability for Dell AI notebook computer adapters from 60 W to 360 W
TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), the industry leader in next-generation GaNFast gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, today announced its adoption of both technologies into Dell’s family of notebook adapters, from 60 W to 360 W.
Enabled by over 20 years of SiC technology leadership, GeneSiC leads on performance of SiC MOSFETs with patented ‘trench-assisted planar’ technology and 5th-gen GeneSiC silicon carbide (SiC) diodes to deliver high-speed, high-efficiency performance with proprietary ’low-knee’ technology for cool operation.
Navitas’ GaNFast power ICs enable high-frequency, high-efficiency power conversion, achieving 3x more power and 3x faster charging in half the size and weight compared to prior designs with legacy silicon power devices.
Navitas GaN & SiC technology together enables Dell to provide high-speed charging, with highest efficiency, coolest temperature, smallest size, and lowest material count. Dell’s latest line-up of AI notebooks includes Neural Processor Units (NPUs), which are dedicated AI engines, to manage sustained AI and AI offload. This builds on Dell’s portfolio as the broadest GaN adapter offering for notebooks in the industry.
The new adapters will also help Dell achieve its advanced sustainability goals, with a focus on CO2 reduction and energy reduction. The adapter cases require up to
“Since Dell’s first GaN adapter was enabled by Navitas back in 2020, we’ve worked closely with Dell engineering to further improve charging speed, efficiency, size, weight, and now environmental footprint,” said Gene Sheridan, CEO and co-founder of Navitas. “Dell’s new adapters are an optimal solution for speed, portability, and sustainability. Our clients achieve a win-win for both the market and environment by deploying Navitas GaNFast power ICs and GeneSiC power devices.”
