Digi-Key has signed to be a global distributor of EPC's gallium nitride (GaN)-based power management devices.
“Digi-Key has the fastest global logistics and the most efficient supply chain of any distributor with which I have worked over the last 30 years,” said Alex Lidow, EPC's co-founder and CEO. “This will translate into fast and easy service to all our global customers who want to gain access to our enhancement-mode GaN transistors to replace their less-efficient power MOSFETs.”
“EPC's gallium nitride-based power management products bring intriguing next-generation breakthrough benefits to existing MOSFET and Bipolar solutions,” said Dave Doherty, Digi-Key's vice president of semiconductor product. “We are thrilled to be the first to offer these innovative products to the engineering community.”
Established in 2007, EPC is a fab-less company with subcontract manufacturing in
The company's founders are committed to developing GaN products to be used as cost-effective silicon product replacements. In June 2009, EPC released the first commercial enhancement-mode GaN transistors. It has developed products with behavioral characteristics similar to silicon power MOSFETs to make GaN transistors easy to use.
