West Seneca, New York, March 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worksport Ltd. (Nasdaq: WKSP) (“Worksport” or the “Company”), an innovative automotive accessory manufacturer dedicated to developing clean energy solutions, announced today its strategic move to integrate Gallium Nitride (“GaN”) semiconductors in its upcoming product offerings. By choosing GAN semiconductors over more prevalent silicon-based chips that fuel even the AI chip leader, NVIDIA Corporation (“NVIDIA”), Worksport has embarked on an innovative journey to advance its technology to new heights with various partnerships, including a recently announced partnership with Infineon Technologies AG, which is a leading producer of GaN semiconductors.

Key Points: 
  • Silicone has been the dominant material for semiconductor manufacturing for decades due to its widespread availability and processing ease.
  • Compared to silicon, GaN-based power switches feature lower overall capacitances, especially considering they do not have an anti-parallel body diode.
  • This feature can result in power converters with a much higher power density than typically found in silicon-based switches.
  • By leveraging GaN technology, Worksport believes that its future products will be able to deliver unmatched performance while also consuming less energy, resulting in longer battery life due to higher-efficiency power converters.
