At the IEEE APEC 2015 power electronics industry conference, EPC applications experts will make eight technical presentations on GaN FET technology and applications showing the superiority of GaN transistors compared to silicon power MOSFETs.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — February, 2015 — Efficient Power Conversion Corporation, the world’s leader in enhancement-mode gallium nitride on silicon (eGaN^®) power FETs will be exhibiting the latest GaN technology power transistors, as well as presenting eight application-focused technical presentations at APEC^® 2015. The conference will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina from March 15th through the 19th.

EPC gallium nitride applications experts and technical sales staff will demonstrate EPC’s eGaN power transistors in the EPC booth, #1405. Featured in the booth will be the company’s latest eGaN products and demonstration boards, including an A4WP compliant, 6.78 MHz wireless power amplifier demonstration, a 500 W high power density eighth brick DC-DC converter and monolithic integrated GaN half-bridge devices. In addition, EPC will be introducing an industry-first handbook for wireless power amplifier design. This handbook is the latest edition to the EPC library of GaN technology textbooks.

The Premier Event in Applied Power Electronics^™, APEC, focuses on the practical and applied aspects of the power electronics business. It is the leading conference for practicing power electronics professionals addressing a broad range of topics in the use, design, manufacture and marketing of all kinds of power electronics components and equipment.
