VisIC Technologies, based in Ness Ziona, announced the completion of a $26 million Series B funding round. The round included leading industry investors, among them Hyundai Motor Company and Kia, which joined as strategic backers. Their participation reflects the growing interest among automakers in GaN-based power technologies—an energy-efficient alternative for converters and power systems in electric vehicles. For the carmakers, the investment is a step toward evaluating advanced components for future models, as part of broader efforts to improve performance and reduce energy losses.

The new capital will support the development of VisIC’s next generations of GaN power chips, including devices with higher voltage ratings, as well as scaling manufacturing capacity to meet rising market demand.

While VisIC has long been active in the EV sector, the company reports a surge in interest from additional markets—chief among them data centers. The rapid growth of AI workloads and cloud infrastructure has dramatically increased power consumption, driving demand for more efficient power systems. According to the company, high-power-density GaN devices are well-suited for converters and power supplies used in data-center environments, positioning its technology as a strong contender across a broader set of industrial applications.

VisIC’s D³GaN platform is based on transistors with low resistance and fast switching speeds, enabling compact, high-efficiency converters that outperform traditional silicon-based solutions.

In recent months, the company introduced the second generation of its GaN devices, achieving a significant reduction in RDS(on)—the electrical resistance of the transistor when conducting. Lower resistance translates into higher efficiency, reduced heat, and more compact, energy-efficient system designs.

At the same time, VisIC has strengthened its supply chain by expanding production to additional semiconductor fabs, reducing reliance on a single supplier and improving manufacturing resilience. The company has also launched a new global distribution channel through DigiKey, enabling broader and more direct access to its GaN components for customers worldwide.
