Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD) delivers a step-change in performance and power efficiency to the automotive and industrial markets with GaN-based power electronics.
CGD is a fabless semiconductor company developing gallium nitride-based power electronics for automotive, consumer, and industrial applications. CGD's technology delivers significant energy efficiency and performance gains over silicon or silicon carbide-based alternatives, and expands the addressable market for gallium nitride in power electronics to applications where more costly silicon carbide was previously the only option.
Ultimately, the proliferation of CGD's technology will enable the next generation of EV drivetrains and greatly increases the energy efficiency of critical infrastructure, including data centres and renewable energy assets.
CGD spun out from the University of Cambridge in 2016 and was founded by Dr Giorgia Longobardi (CEO) and Prof. Florin Udrea (CTO), a previous founder of Cambridge Semiconductor and Cambridge CMOS Devices.
