Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) to Feature How GaN is Transforming Power Delivery Across Multiple Industries at APEC 2020
The EPC team will be delivering eleven technical presentations on gallium nitride (GaN) technology and applications at APEC 2020 in New Orleans from March 15th through the 19th (See detailed schedule below). In addition, the company will demonstrate its latest eGaN® FETs and ICs in a large variety of customer end products in booth #1847.
48 V DC-DC Converters
EPC will be launching the ePowertm Stage IC family that redefines power conversion by integrating all functions in a single GaN-on-Si integrated circuit. EPC will show how ePowertm Stage and discrete GaN devices increase the efficiency, shrink the size, and reduce system cost for 48 V power conversion with demonstrations for ultra-thin, high powered (up to 250 W) laptop computing, high density server and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, as well as automotive systems.
Lidar/Time of Flight
Multiple lidar applications will show how GaN technology supports both short and long range lidar sensors. For long-range direct time of flight (DToF) systems, a demonstration providing currents greater than 100 A in under 2.5 nanoseconds will be shown.
For short-range indirect time of flight (IToF) systems, a demonstration providing an 8 A pulse with pulse widths less than 1.2 nanoseconds will be on display, as well as multiple end-customer systems in production today. These systems are being deployed today for applications as varied as autonomous vehicles, warehouse automation, drones, to gaming and vacuum cleaners.
Motor Drive
The new monolithic GaN IC power stage will be shown powering the motor of an e-scooter. The ePowertm Stage device is employed in a 3-phase sinusoidal excitation, 10 ARMS per phase motor drive for an efficient, quiet, high performance, and low cost solution to emobility.
Wireless Power
The emergence of LTE/5G systems will enable IoT to grow rapidly, pushing a multitude of new connections and sensors into the ecosystem. For these devices to scale with 5G, they will need dependable, safe, wireless power. EPC will demonstrate highly efficient wireless power solutions for 5G that are capable of transmitting up to 65 W through both e-glass and walls.
Attendees interested in meeting with EPC applications experts during the event can schedule sessions in the EPC booth, or for a private meeting, meet in our customer suite. Meeting requests can be submitted at epc-co.com/epc/Contact/RequestMeeting.aspx

About EPC
EPC is the leader in enhancement-mode gallium nitride-based power management devices. EPC was the first to introduce enhancement-mode gallium-nitride-on-silicon (eGaN) FETs as power MOSFET replacements in applications such as DC-DC converters, wireless power transfer, envelope tracking, RF transmission, power inverters, remote sensing technology (Lidar), and class-D audio amplifiers with device performance many times greater than the best silicon power MOSFETs. EPC also has a growing portfolio of eGaN-based integrated circuits that provide even greater space, energy, and cost efficiency.
