Efficient Power Conversion
Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) is a semiconductor company that produces transistors and integrated circuits based on gallium nitride (GaN).[1][2]
History
[edit | edit source]The company was founded in 2007 by Alex Lidow, Joe Cao and Robert Beach, with Lidow continuing as CEO.[1] The company is based in El Segundo, California.[1] Its eGaN® FETs and ICs are widely used in the Light Detection and Ranging (Lidar) systems for self-driving and autonomous vehicles, such as the lidar systems developed by Velodyne.[2][3] In 2020, the company entered into a joint venture with VPT to form EPC Space[4] which provides radiation-hardened GaN devices for space applications.[5][6]
Products
[edit | edit source]In 2023 the 40V 4mΩ radiation-hardened GaN FET EPC7001 was introduced.[7] The company launched the EPC2361, a 100V 1mΩ GaN FET in 2024, which it claims was the smallest available at the time with a footprint of 3mm by 5mm.[8]
