GaN Systems Shows How GaN is Revolutionizing Wireless Charging

June 12, 2019 by Paul Shepard

GaN Systems will deliver presentations and display numerous innovative wireless power transfer solutions enabled by GaN at Wireless Power Week taking place in London on 17-21 June, 2019. GaN power semiconductors are enabling a world without wires for consumer and business devices, spurring the next evolution of convenience, intelligence, and autonomy.

At the conference, GaN Systems' VP Strategic Marketing Paul Wiener will be giving a talk, "Moving to a World Without Wires," in a joint IEEE MTT-S Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC) and IEEE PELS Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power (WoW) session on June 18, 2019 at 1:45 p.m. Additionally, GaN Systems' RF power and wireless power expert Tiefeng Shi will be delivering a poster presentation on "High Power WPT System For Through the Wall Applications."

Customer Demonstrations

GaN Systems will be showcasing wireless charging devices and technologies from customers and partners as well as design tools and reference designs. GaN transistors are enabling higher power level applications from 30W up to several kilowatts - much greater than achieved with traditional silicon solutions - and opens the door for charging more than a single cell phone, but several of these devices at the same time as well as laptops, drones, robots, tabletop electronics, industrial power tools, eBikes, and more.
