Onsemi and Innoscience to collaborate on GaN power roll out
Onsemi and Innoscience have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to evaluate opportunities to accelerate deployment of GaN power devices, starting with 40-200V, and to broaden customer adoption.
The collaboration outlined in the MoU brings together Onsemi’s experience in integrated systems and packaging with Innoscience’s GaN technology and high-volume manufacturing to enable delivery of cost-effective, highly efficient GaN products for industrial, automotive, telecom infrastructure, consumer and AI data centre markets.
Until now, limited offerings and manufacturing capacity have slowed GaN adoption in the low and medium-voltage segment. Through this collaboration, Onsemi and Innoscience will seek to overcome these barriers to quickly bring high-volume, worldwide deployment of optimised GaN solutions for mainstream markets including industrial (motor drives for robotics, solar microinverters, and optimisers); automotive (DC-DC converters, synchronous rectification); telecom Infrastructure (DC-DC and point-of-load converters); consumer and mass market (power supplies, adaptors, DC-DC converters, motor drives, audio, light e-mobility, power tools, robotics); and AI data centre (intermediate bus converters, DC-DC converters, battery backup units).
Onsemi says that for its customers, the collaboration would enable faster time to market; scalable manufacturing; and lower system cost.
“As power demands rise across every sector, GaN offers higher efficiency, smaller size, and lower energy losses compared to other materials. Until now, in the low and medium voltage segments, cost and supply constraints have limited its widespread adoption. Through a collaboration with Innoscience, we expect to be able to access the industry’s largest GaN production footprint and quickly scale our GaN offerings for customers worldwide to enable broader adoption in mainstream power applications," said Antoine Jalabert, VP of corporate strategy, Onsemi
“GaN technology is essential to improving electronics, creating smaller, more efficient power systems, saving electric power, and reducing CO2 emissions. Innoscience is excited to explore a strategic collaboration opportunity with Onsemi, to expand and accelerate the adoption of GaN power worldwide, and to create a system integration platform with Onsemi’s broad portfolio, " said Yi Sun, VP, product and engineering for Innoscience.
Onsemi expects to begin sampling in the first half of 2026.
