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.

Pushing Power Limits: EPC and Cyntec on GaN for AI and Robotics

Posted Tuesday, September 15, 2026

Gallium nitride (GaN) power devices have surpassed silicon MOSFETs at low voltages, unlocking new levels of efficiency and power density for AI data centers and emerging applications. In this episode, EPC’s CEO Alex Lidow and Cyntec CTO Ian Chan discuss how GaN enables multi‑kilowatt GPUs, 800V distributed architectures, and ultra‑thin power modules placed close to processors. They explore ecosystem challenges in magnetics, passives, and packaging, and explain why multidisciplinary design is essential for the next generation of AI, robotics, and autonomous systems.
