GaN Systems Inc of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (a fabless developer of gallium nitride-based power switching semiconductors for power conversion and control applications) says that distributor Arrow Electronics is now supplying its range of GaN transistors in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

GaN Systems says that its 100V and 650V transistor product families offer high efficiency, small sizes and open up opportunities in areas from data centres, electric vehicles and renewable energy to industrial motor drives and consumer electronics.

“This agreement further extends customer access and support to our industry-leading capabilities in power GaN transistors,” says Tony Astley, director EMEA sales at GaN Systems. “As the demand for GaN technology grows worldwide, Arrow’s extensive power team that combines technical and commercial experience provides the perfect platform for bringing GaN Systems’ innovative technology to engineers in EMEA,” he adds.

“For some applications, engineers need to look beyond established solutions if they are to create ground-breaking products,” comments Matthias Hutter, VP of product management & supplier marketing, EMEA at Arrow Electronics. “GaN technology can deliver significant efficiency savings and GaN Systems offers a range of products to help make this happen.”
