Industry Analysis
onsemi’s GaNEXUS launch isn’t just a product rollout—it’s a strategic recalibration targeting AI data centers and EVs where power density dictates system architecture. By standardizing SiC MOSFET–gate driver co-optimization via its cloud-based Elite Pairing Studio, onsemi shortens design cycles and directly undermines Infineon and Wolfspeed’s legacy bundling advantage. Yet this hinges on fab utilization rebounding amid CHIPS Act delays and tight advanced packaging capacity in Taiwan, China—raising supply chain fragility. While partnerships with NIO and Geely secure near-term sockets, they also tether margins to China’s EV price wars. Over the next 12–24 months, tighter EUV export controls on sub-3nm tools could stall cost reductions in GaN/SiC, delaying adoption in industrial and AI power systems and forcing onsemi to rebalance premium positioning against cost discipline.
