-30%Renesas Electronics has launched its first 100V gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors for low-voltage applications. The new family of GaN FETs targets AI data centres, humanoid robotics, factory automation, industrial motor drives, power tools, and solar microinverters. The devices deliver up to 35% lower hard-switching figure-of-merit and up to 63% lower soft-switching figure-of-merit compared to comparable GaN products. They maintain silicon-compatible footprints for easy integration into existing designs. The transistors support the transition to 800V direct current power distribution and 48V bus architectures in AI servers and industrial infrastructure. They enable megahertz-class switching speeds whilst reducing passive component size, switching losses, and cooling requirements. The GaN FETs are available now in FCLGA and FCLGA-DSC packages, with corresponding evaluation boards.
Renesas Electronics has launched the industry's first 650V gallium nitride device with dual-side cooling for AI data centres. The TP65H020G4PLSGBD delivers 20 milliohms on-resistance in an 8x8mm package, 57% smaller than existing alternatives. The device targets 800V DC/DC intermediate bus converters in megawatt-scale data centres, addressing space and thermal constraints as rack power approaches megawatt levels. Dual-side cooling reduces top-side thermal impedance by 10% whilst maintaining compatibility with standard silicon gate drivers. Renesas is currently sampling the device to major data centre manufacturers. A 6kW reference design achieved 2.6 kW/in³ power density with 0.21% higher efficiency than equivalent alternatives. Mass production is planned for mid-2027. The device will be showcased at OCP Global Summit in San Jose, California, from 12-15 October.
The Autoware Foundation has partnered with Renesas Electronics to deliver open-source AI software for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving. Renesas has joined the foundation at its highest membership tier. The collaboration integrates Autoware's end-to-end AI stack with Renesas R-Car system-on-chip platforms. This enables automotive manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers to develop scalable solutions ranging from entry-level L2 driver assistance to L2++ hands-free autopilot and L4 robotaxis. The partnership allows OEMs to customise the Apache 2.0-licensed software for specific vehicles and use cases, offering a flexible alternative to in-house development or commercial solutions. The companies describe this as a watershed moment for the industry, comparing it to Linux's impact on computing. "This is the Linux moment for the ADAS and autonomous driving industry," said Christian John, board director at the Autoware Foundation.
Renesas Electronics has opened a Physical AI & Robotics Lab in Beijing to help customers develop and validate next-generation robotic systems. The facility will support the company's physical AI strategy, focusing on systems that perceive, decide and act in real time in physical environments. Physical AI represents AI's evolution beyond digital applications into robotics and other real-world systems. The lab will integrate hardware, software, AI modelling, control, power supply and sensing to support complete solution development. Renesas currently addresses roughly 30% of the humanoid robot bill of materials and aims to expand that to 70%. The company established a Physical AI Division on 1 July 2026 to focus on this growth area. The Beijing lab will serve as a platform connecting customers, ecosystem partners, universities and startups to accelerate robotics innovation in China's thriving robotics market.
