In its 2025 predictions for gallium nitride (GaN) power semiconductors, Infineon Technologies AG of Munich, Germany highlights that GaN will be a game-changing material for energy efficiency and decarbonization across the consumer, mobility, residential solar, telecoms, and AI data-center sectors, as GaN enables efficient performance, smaller size, lighter weight, and lower overall cost. While USB-C chargers and adapters have been the forerunners, GaN is now on its way to reaching tipping points in its adoption in further industry sectors, driving the market for GaN-based power semiconductors...

A lightweight runtime security code embedded into a system-on-chip (SoC) for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. That’s the outcome of a collaboration between MediaTek and Italy-based embedded IoT security firm Exein. EE Times’ Editor-in-Chief Nitin Dahad spoke to Gianni Cuozzo, founder and CEO of Exein, to know more about this collaboration that ensures security is an integral part of the development process rather than an afterthought.

Cuozzo, who founded the company in 2018 to address the emerging mandatory cybersecurity regulations, claims it’s the world’s first integration between a chip manufacturer and runtime security software. He also claims it’s the lightest runtime agent available, whether running at the edge or the cloud.
