US-based digital elements producer Energy Integrations has agreed to amass the property of Odyssey Semiconductor Applied sciences, a developer of vertical gallium nitride (GaN) transistor know-how.
The transaction is anticipated to shut in July 2024, after which all key Odyssey staff are anticipated to hitch Energy Integrations’ group.
The acquisition helps Energy Integrations’ growth of its PowiGaN know-how, which options within the firm’s merchandise together with InnoSwitch ICs, HiperPFS-5 power-factor-correction ICs, and its just lately launched InnoMux-2 vary of single-stage, multiple-output ICs. The corporate launched 900 V and 1,250 V variations of PowiGaN know-how and merchandise in 2023.
“We’re executing on a roadmap that features driving towards price parity with silicon MOSFETs and increasing the voltage and energy capabilities of PowiGaN. Our purpose is to commercialize an economical high-current and high-voltage GaN know-how to help higher-power functions presently served by silicon carbide (SiC), at a a lot decrease price and better efficiency enabled by the elemental materials benefits of GaN over SiC.”
