D-Link Launches New 240W, 140W and 100W GaN Chargers for Multi-Device Fast Charging - Digital Reviews Network

D-Link has launched a new lineup of GaN-based fast chargers—240W, 140W, and 100W models—designed to meet the growing demand for efficient, multi-device charging in modern households and workspaces. Th... Read original →

D-Link’s 240W GaN charger launch signals a full-scale shift from silicon to GaN in consumer power delivery. Technologically, this pressures upstream foundries like Navitas to scale 8-inch GaN wafers and spikes demand for USB-PD 3.1 controller ICs. Regulatory-wise, EU (EU)2023/1667 and U.S. DoE Level VI standards now penalize inefficient thermal designs, sidelining smaller ODMs lacking digital power control IP. Competitively, Anker and Belkin will likely counter with multi-port AI load-balancing and eco-labeling, while Taiwan, China-based OEMs such as Chicony may leverage Apple supply chain ties. Within 18 months, GaN chargers will transition from premium features to baseline specs, accelerating GaN adoption in automotive inverters—proving that the real disruption isn’t in sockets, but in semiconductor material economics.
