Avnet inks global deal with Rad Hard IC supplier

These Rad Hard power GaN devices include discrete transistors, integrated circuits (ICs), and modules that offer significant performance advantages over competitive silicon-based space level power devices.

EPC Space says its GaN technology devices are smaller, have lower resistance, and have superior switching performance compared to silicon-based components and solutions.

Critical spaceborne applications that benefit from the performance improvements that EPC Space devices offer include satellite’s DC-DC converters, reaction and momentum wheels, solar array drive assembly, micro-pumps for propulsion systems, and more.

“Partnering with Avnet, a global leader in distribution solutions, allows EPC Space to offer timely and reliable service to customers seeking high reliability GaN power solutions,” said Bel Lazar, EPC Space’s CEO.
