GaN Talk podcast. A podcast dedicated to crushing silicon

GaN Talk Podcast

Gallium nitride is the leading candidate for taking electronic performance to the next level and reactivating the positive momentum of Moore’s Law. GaN’s ability to conduct electrons more than 1000 times more efficiently than silicon—while being manufactured at a lower cost—has now been well established. Silicon is out of gas, and a new, higher-performing semiconductor material is emerging: GaN is on the rise.

The GaN Talk Podcast is an audio interview series featuring the people behind the rise of gallium nitride in the power electronics industry. Each episode brings voices from the field - visionaries, leaders, researchers, and engineers - sharing insights, experiences, and perspectives shaping the future of GaN. The podcast is available on Spotify and Apple Music.

Breaking the Low-Voltage Barrier: EPC’s Seventh-Generation GaN Transistors

Posted Monday, February 2, 2026

In this episode of GaN Talk, brought to you by EPC, host Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio is joined by Alex Lidow, CEO and co-founder of Efficient Power Conversion, to discuss a major milestone in power electronics: the launch into mass production of EPC’s first seventh-generation GaN power transistor, the EPC2366. Delivering up to three times better performance than comparable silicon MOSFETs, this breakthrough device is designed for high-efficiency, high-density power systems. Together, Maurizio and Alex explore what makes Gen-7 GaN unique, which applications will benefit most, and how this technology could spell the end of the low-voltage MOSFET era.
