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.

New EPC2378 GaN FET: Power Density for Next‑Gen AI Data Centers

Posted Monday, June 8, 2026

In this episode, Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio hosts a new installment of the Gan Talk podcast as PCIM 2026 is coming, one of the most important power electronics conferences in Europe. Maurizio is joined by EPC CEO Alex Lidow to discuss EPC’s latest GaN innovation, the EPC2378, a seventh‑generation 25‑V device for ultra‑dense 48‑to‑12 V and 48‑to‑6 V converters in AI servers. They explore low Rds(on)·Qg and Qoss, pushing into MHz switching frequencies, thermal management with dual‑sided cooling, and long‑term reliability in next‑generation AI infrastructure. “These GaN devices are many times better than the incumbent MOSFETs at 25 volts,” says Alex Lidow.
