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.

Inside EPC’s GaN Roadmap: Motor Systems for Next-Generation Robots

Posted Friday, September 25, 2026

This interview with Marco Palma, Vice President of Motor Systems at EPC, explores how GaN technology is reshaping motor drives for humanoid robots and drones. Palma discusses the EPC 91132 reference board based on the EPC33110 IC, highlighting high power density, compact form factors, and advanced thermal management via topside cooling. He explains the importance of PWM frequency, dead time, and control algorithms, and outlines EPC’s scalable GaN inverter portfolio and future trends such as multi-phase motors and fully integrated GaN power ICs.
