GaN Wine Lounge. GaN stories, insights, and people

GaN Wine Lounge

GaN Wine Lounge is a relaxed video conversation series where we talk GaN - and beyond - with our customers, academic partners, editors, and EPC team members over a virtual glass of wine. In an informal, friendly atmosphere, we share real-world experiences, lessons learned, and fresh ideas. We also include short lab episodes, offering a behind-the-scenes look at experiments and real applications of EPC solutions. Together, we build connections, inspire collaboration, and celebrate the people and technologies shaping the future of GaN.

GaN vs. Silicon: Powering the Next Wave of AI Servers and Humanoids

Posted Thursday, July 23, 2026

This interview with Alex Lidow, CEO of EPC, explores how gallium nitride (GaN) is transforming power architectures in AI data centers, humanoid robots, and space systems. Lidow explains the shift to 800 V DC buses, challenges of megawatt racks, and the impact of Gen 7 and Gen 8 GaN on low‑voltage, high‑current conversion for advanced GPUs. He also addresses reliability misconceptions, thermomechanical design practices, and regional adoption trends across China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
