Modern solar panels are demanding increasingly higher power density and longer operating lifetimes. Solar applications including power optimizers and panels with built-in microinverters are becoming the prevailing trend for an increasing number of solar customers, where low voltage GaN power devices (V_DS < 200 V) are extensively used.

宜普电源转换公司(EPC)发布第十五阶段产品可靠性测试报告，进一步丰富了关于氮化镓器件可靠性的知识库和展示了EPC eGaN产品的稳健耐用性已在实际应用中得到验证。

EPC宣布发布其第十五阶段产品可靠性测试报告，记录了持续使用测试器件至失效的方法，并针对太阳能优化器、激光雷达传感器和DC/DC转换器等实际应用，加入了具体的可靠性指标和预测数据。

宜普电源转换公司(EPC)推出 200 V、10 mΩ的EPC2307，完善了额定电压为 100V、150 V和200 V的6个GaN晶体管系列，提供更高的性能、更小的解决方案和易于设计的DC/DC 转换、AC/DC SMPS和充电器、太阳能优化器和微型逆变器，以及电机驱动器。

全球增强型氮化镓FET和IC领导者EPC推出 200 V、10 mΩ的EPC2307，采用耐热增强型QFN封装，占位面积仅为3 mm x 5 mm。

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) introduces the 150 V, 3 mΩ EPC2305 and the 200 V, 5 mΩ EPC2304 GaN FETs offering higher performance and smaller solution size and cost for DC-DC conversion, AC/DC SMPS and chargers, solar optimizers and microinverters, and motor drives.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.— December 2022 — EPC, the world’s leader in enhancement-mode gallium nitride FETs and ICs, introduces the 150 V, 3 mΩ EPC2305 and the 200 V, 5 mΩ EPC2304 GaN FETs in a thermally enhanced QFN package with exposed top and tiny 3 mm x 5 mm footprint.

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) introduces the 80 V, 4 mOhm EPC2619 GaN FET in tiny 1.5 mm x 2.5 mm footprint, offering higher performance and smaller solution size than traditional MOSFETs for high power density applications, including DC-DC conversion, motor drives, and synchronous rectification for 12 V – 20 V.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.— November 2022 — EPC, the world’s leader in enhancement-mode gallium nitride (GaN) power FETs and ICs, launches the 80 V, 4 mOhm EPC2619. This is the lead product for a new generation of eGaN devices that have double the power density compared to EPC’s prior-generation products.

GaN FETs help Solarnative achieve industry-leading power density for solar microinverters, enabling module frame integration to solve the challenges of solar power installation.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.— November 2022 Solarnative uses GaN devices in its new microinverter to achieve industry-best power density.  The Power Stick is the smallest inverter in the world, with dimensions of 23.9 by 23,2 by 404 millimeters. With an AC output power of 350 W, the volume of 0.19 liters corresponds to a power density of 1.6 kW per liter. By comparison, the IQ 7A microinverter from a market leading supplier delivers 349 watts with a volume of 1.12 liters, corresponding to 0.31 kW per liter – not even one-fifth of the Solarnative device. Despite the extreme size reduction, the European efficiencies are quite comparable, at 96.0 percent for the Power Stick and 96.5 percent for the IQ 7A.

宜普电源转换公司(EPC)推出150 V、6 mΩ EPC2308 GaN FET，让高功率密度应用实现更高的性能和更小的解决方案，包括DC/DC转换、AC/DC SMPS和充电器、太阳能优化器和微型逆变器，以及电机驱动器。

EPC 是增强型氮化镓(eGaN®)功率FET和 IC 领域的全球领导者，新推采用更耐热的QFN封装且可立即发货的150 V EPC2308氮化镓器件，用于电动工具和机器人的电机驱动器、用于工业应用的80 V/100 V高功率密度DC/DC转换器、用于充电器、适配器和电源供电的28V~54V同步整流器、智能手机USB快速充电器，以及太阳能优化器和微型逆变器。
