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.

GaN in Orbit: From Radiation Hardening to QPL Space-Grade Power with EPC Space and Bel Lazar

Posted Monday, February 16, 2026

Gallium nitride is moving into radiation-critical space systems, enabling lighter, more efficient power architectures. In this episode we discuss what it takes to make GaN QPL-qualified, how it behaves under radiation, why enhancement-mode devices matter, and where rad-hard GaN is already used today. We also look at new 300 V devices, motor-drive platforms, and the roadmap toward integrated rad-hard power ICs for future satellites and deep-space missions.
