Electronic components distributor Digi- has signed a deal for the global distribution of gallium nitride (GaN)-based power management devices from EPC. Established in 2007, EPC is a fab-less company with subcontract manufacturing in Taiwan. EPC's key markets include voltage controllers, LED boost converters, power MOSFET and IGBT replacements, drivers, power amplifiers and RF MOSFETs.
In June 2009, EPC released commercial enhancement-mode GaN transistors. EPC has developed products with behavioral characteristics similar to silicon power MOSFETs to make GaN transistors easy to use. EPC's products for applications requiring 200V or less are available for purchase on Digi-Key's websites.
