GaN transistors have always promised the best performance and efficiency, but current design approaches have failed to achieve these benefits because they cannot be driven at the high frequencies needed to deliver them. The patented QPT technology unlocks the potential of GaN to provide significant power savings by enabling GaN transistors to be driven at these high switching speeds. Reducing the energy use of this huge sector could have a real impact on helping reduce climate change.

Sean Redmond, Silicon Catalyst UK Managing Partner, went on to add “QPT has progressed through each stage of our rigorous screening process, and we’re delighted to welcome Rob and the team into our portfolio. We’re really keen to leverage our experience, network and partners to accelerate QPT in its business growth to become a premier climate tech company.”

About QPT Limited Technology

Established in Cambridge in 2020 as an independent power electronics company, QPT™ specialises in the delivery of high-performance, efficient, and cost-effective solutions to solve the challenges of designing with Gallium Nitride transistors. QPT™ technology unlocks the potential of GaN to provide huge power savings across a wide range of electrical devices. In particular, motors that currently account for 45% of the global power budget. Its first innovative power module increases power efficiency from as low as 50% to up to 99.5% to reduce power losses in motor drives. Key application areas that account for a significant share of global power consumption include heat pumps and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) systems.
