EPC Opens GaN Power Library - Aims to Accelerate Adoption


News May 20, 2013 by Jeff Shepard

Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) announces the redesign of the EPC website to include a gallium-nitride (GaN) transistor library. The redesign provides search and access to a trove of GaN transistor technology educational materials and product information. Directly from the home page, power design engineers have immediate access to a wealth of articles, videos and textbooks. These materials will accelerate understanding and use of this new, rapidly emerging technology. Designers using state-of-the-art GaN transistors for power conversion can for the first time go to one place to find a concentration of articles, videos, and textbooks that reduce the time it takes to get their products to market.

According to Dr. Alex Lidow, co-founder and CEO, “All new technologies have a learning curve that engineers must climb prior to implementing a new technology effectively and efficiently. At EPC we recognize our responsibility to the design community to make certain that engineers know the benefits and understand the intricacies of working with gallium nitride technology. We have taken this education responsibility seriously and have generated and collected a vast amount of materials on GaN transistor technology and applications. Now these materials are concentrated in a single location. Engineers wanting to learn about GaN transistors simply can go to epc-co.com.”

EPC’s design and applications team are leading experts in the field of GaN transistor technology and their applications. Since the founding of EPC in 2007, this team has published over 50 articles in professional journals, delivered more than 30 presentations at industry and academic conferences, and published the only textbook available on the subject, “GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion.” For the first time, gallium nitride transistor educational materials are easily retrievable from one location – the EPC GaN Library.
