What is GaN and Why Should You Have a GaN Wall Charger?
June 3, 2024
As USB-C charger technology develops and devices require more and more power, the need for efficient charging solutions becomes greater and greater. That’s why USBANGEL has been focused on creating new charging solutions that utilize Gallium Nitride (GaN for short), a semiconductor material that Goes Beyond what we’ve come to expect. We’ll explore the advantages of using a GaN Charger over a traditional silicon-based semiconductors USB charger and uncover the groundbreaking applications we’ve created by harnessing its power.
Understanding GaN
Gallium Nitride is a semiconductor material that offers several advantages over traditional silicon. Known as a “wide-bandgap” semiconductor, its unique composition and properties make it highly desirable for various applications, particularly in power electronics. Unlike silicon, GaN allows for higher power density, improved efficiency, and smaller form factors, leading to faster charging times and longer battery life.
The Unique Advantages of GaN Technology
GaN technology offers several distinct advantages, including:
Efficiency: GaN Chargers and adapters boast a higher level of efficiency, resulting in reduced energy consumption and faster charging times.
Power density: GaN's ability to handle higher power allows compact and lightweight charging solutions without compromising performance.
Size: GaN's smaller form factor enables the design of sleek and portable chargers and adapters, perfect for on-the-go use.
Benefits for Consumers
The adoption of GaN technology provides consumers with several benefits including:
Faster charging times: GaN-based USB-C wall chargers deliver higher power outputs, reducing the time needed to recharge devices so users spend less time tethered.
Portability and convenience: GaN's smaller size means compact chargers and adapters, perfect for travel and everyday use.
Energy efficiency: GaN USB chargers minimize loss while powering devices, resulting in reduced energy consumption and prolonged battery life.
