GaN Systems and e2v sign hi-rel agreement
A master supply agreement between hi-rel semiconductor firm e2v and GaN Systems, has established e2v as the global supplier of GaN Systems' 100V and 650V hi-rel GaN transistor products and customer care for aerospace and defence (A&D) applications.
e2v will use its infrastructure and 30 years of experience in this area to support the hi-rel market with GaN's transistors and evaluation boards. e2v will offer power management solutions that respond directly to the hi-rel market's growing SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) demands.
Mont Taylor, VP of business development at e2v, commented: "Our A&D customers must increase system power density, while reducing size and weight. This global partnership with GaN Systems allows us to extend our A&D portfolio and offer new power technologies to meet these requirements."
Larry Spaziani, VP of sales and marketing at GaN Systems, said, "Power designers are routinely reducing the volume and weight of their systems by four to six times by using GaN transistors as a replacement for silicon devices. Partnering with e2v enables our solutions to reach, supply and support hundreds of A&D electronic systems designers. e2v's heritage within the A&D market will allow us to extend the availability of our SWaP conscious power solutions and give our A&D customers the specialist support they deserve."
