GaN Systems signs distribution deal with Ecomal Europe
Ecomal's expertise in power systems suited to GaN high power switching devices
GaN Systems, a developer of GaN power switching semiconductors, has announced it has signed a distribution agreement with Ecomal Europe to promote and distribute its GaN high power switching transistors.
GaN Systems' GaN power transistors are based on its proprietary Island Technology and offer significant advantages over traditional silicon MOSFETs and IGBTs to bring smaller, lighter and more efficient power electronics to numerous applications. GaN Systems selected Ecomal Europe for its expertise in power systems and complimentary line card.
The partnership is seen as synergistic by both GaN Systems and Ecomal Europe, as many of GaN Systems' prospective customers in the region already have a relationship with Ecomal Europe and its excellent technical knowledge in applications is particularly suited to GaN high power switching devices, including inverters, UPS, hybrid electric vehicles/electric vehicles and high voltage DC-DC conversion.
GaN Systems has a range of GaN transistors with current ratings from 8A to 250A, which are claimed to offer a 40-fold improvement in switching and conduction performance over traditional silicon MOSFETs and IGBTs.
Martin Behlke, managing director of Ecomal Europe said: "We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with GaN Systems and its exciting products. We feel that this collaboration will offer great things for the industry and keep our customers at the forefront of a fast-paced market."
Girvan Patterson, President, GaN Systems comments: "GaN devices are recognised to be the future of power electronics, and as our product portfolio is now ready for commercialisation, it's both key and timely for us to continue to build our worldwide distribution network. In Ecomal Europe, we are confident we have found a technically excellent and strong partner for success in Europe."
Tony Astley, Director EMEA Sales Operations, GaN Systems adds: "I am very excited to be partnering with Ecomal Europe and looking forward to working with our mutual customers as they harness the full potential of this industry-changing technology."
