Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) announces the 60V EPC2035 and 100V EPC2036 eGaN power transistors designed to compete in price, while outperforming silicon. Price, the last major barrier to widespread adoption of GaN transistors as silicon MOSFET replacements, has fallen. These products demonstrate that gallium nitride can displace silicon semiconductors and drive the industry back onto the Moore’s Law growth
