Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Continuous development of proprietary PowiGaN (gallium-nitride) technology, aiming to achieve cost parity with traditional silicon MOSFETs while expanding voltage and power capabilities up to 1700V.
Expected impact: Displaces silicon carbide (SiC) in high-power applications like EV power supplies and industrial motor drives at a lower cost and higher performance.
Expanding the application of highly integrated chips (such as InnoSwitch, InnoMux-2, and SCALE gate drivers) into high-growth sectors including electric vehicles, battery storage, and renewable energy infrastructure.
Expected impact: Reduces cyclical exposure to consumer electronics and computer markets by capturing high-value, sticky industrial design wins.
