e2v & GaN Systems form global alliance

e2v will utilise its infrastructure and 30 years of experience in this area to support the hi-rel market with GaN’s reliable 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, Vice President 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, Vice President 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.”
