Cyient Semiconductors Launches India's First GaN Power IC Family Using Navitas Technology

Cyient Semiconductors Launches India's First GaN Power IC Family Using Navitas Technology​

Cyient Semiconductors Private Limited has introduced seven new gallium nitride (GaN) power devices for the Indian market. The launch marks Cyient Semiconductors' first commercial GaN product family and is designed to boost India's domestic power semiconductor ecosystem.

The new portfolio leverages industry leading GaN technology from Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS). This strategic move enables customers in India to access commercially available GaN power solutions, backed by enhanced local support and alignment with domestic sourcing initiatives.

Cyient Semiconductors entered into an agreement to license Navitas' proven GaN technology for use in India. Furthermore, the company will act as a second source for select Navitas GaN devices already in mass production, thereby strengthening supply chain resilience.

Advanced Solutions for High-Efficiency Applications​

Compared to traditional silicon devices, GaN power semiconductors offer significant advantages, including higher switching speeds, lower conduction losses, and improved thermal efficiency. These enhancements allow system designers to decrease power losses, reduce solution size, simplify thermal management, and increase overall system performance.

Cyient Semiconductors' initial GaN product line targets power applications up to 650 V. Key areas of application include consumer USB-PD chargers, laptop and mobile adapters, AC-DC power supplies, AI data center and telecommunications power systems, and e-mobility charging platforms.

The first wave of products consists of seven highly integrated GaN power devices housed in DPAK packages. These devices combine crucial functions like drive, control, and protection, and feature integrated EMI management and current sensing in industry standard, high thermal performance packages. This level of integration simplifies system design and accelerates adoption for customers prioritizing fast time-to-market and high reliability.

Strategic Market Focus​

The launch addresses the rapidly growing demand for high-efficiency, high-power-density solutions across multiple critical sectors, including AI data centers, telecommunications, consumer fast charging, industrial power systems, and e-mobility platforms.

Looking ahead, Cyient Semiconductors plans to expand its GaN portfolio through local OSAT partnerships. The licensing agreement with Navitas Semiconductor is also expected to create a clear pathway toward the domestic manufacturing of GaN power devices in India.

Suman Narayan, CEO of Cyient Semiconductors, stated, "With this launch, Cyient Semiconductors is introducing its first family of GaN power ICs, marking our entry into high-performance power semiconductors with a strong roadmap for expansion. Built on Navitas' proven GaN platform, these highly integrated devices are designed to accelerate adoption and support next-generation power applications. This represents the foundation of a broader GaN portfolio that will address the growing power and efficiency demands of AI infrastructure, industrial systems, consumer power, and e-mobility applications."

Chris Allexandre, President and CEO of Navitas Semiconductor, added, "India is a key market in Navitas' high growth, high power strategy. This launch furthers our vision of a robust local supply chain and manufacturing in India for the government's 'Make in India' initiatives. The partnership with Cyient delivers a strong local support infrastructure for our customers."

Cyient Semiconductors expects to begin sampling the first set of GaN power products by June 2026.

The initial GaN product offerings include:
