Munich For the general public, it wasn’t even a side note, but experts pricked up their ears when Apple recently his presented the latest notebooks. For the first time, the world’s most valuable IT company is using gallium nitride (GaN) chips in the power supply units of the MacBook Pro.

Apple is not the first large electronics company to who uses the modern semiconductor material instead of the otherwise common silicon in chargers. But as is so often the case, the Californians could pave the way for an innovative application into the mass market.

The advantages for consumers are obvious. “With GaN chips, cell phones, tablets or notebooks can be charged much faster,” says Andreas Urschitz, head of the Power & Sensor Systems division at Infineon .
