A GaN charger is a type of electronic charger that uses gallium nitride (GaN) technology instead of the traditional silicon-based technology. GaN is a semiconductor material that offers several advantages over silicon, making GaN chargers more efficient and compact. Here are some key features of GaN chargers:
Higher Efficiency: GaN chargers can operate at higher efficiencies, reducing energy loss during the charging process.
Less Heat: GaN generates less heat compared to silicon, which allows for smaller and more compact charger designs.
Faster Charging: The efficiency of GaN allows for faster charging times as the charger can deliver more power without increasing its size.
Compact Size: Due to less heat production and higher efficiency, the components in GaN chargers can be placed closer together, resulting in a smaller overall size.
Durability and Safety: Despite being smaller and more powerful, GaN chargers maintain high safety standards and are durable.
Why GaN Is the Future of Charging:
Most of us have several electronic devices that require charging. With a charger that utilises GaN technology, we get significantly more value for our money—both now and in the future.
As the overall design is more compact, most GaN chargers incorporate USB-C Power Delivery, providing fast charging for compatible devices. Most modern smartphones support some form of fast charging, and even more devices will offer this feature in the future.
