- EPC Space’s Rad Hard...
EPC Space provides revolutionary High-Reliability Radiation Hardened enhancement-mode Gallium Nitride Power management solutions for Space and other harsh environments.
Radiation hardened GaN-based power devices address critical space-borne environments for applications including power supplies, light detection and ranging (lidar), motor drive, and ion thrusters.
EPC Space has been delivering space grade eGaN® discrete devices and modules since 2017. Our products have been in orbit since 2019 with tens of thousands of units on board of satellites. Our units are on board satellites flying in LEO and GEO orbit with mission lives of 10+ years.
EPC Space Brings GaN to the Edge of the Atmosphere
Bringing GaN to the final frontier, EPC Space introduced two new radiation-hardened GaN transistors for high-current switching in space-based applications.
As the number of commercial satellites continues to increase, designers require more options for space-ready power electronics with improved current handling.
GaN Technology from EPC Space Exhibits Extreme Robustness for Space Missions
Space exploration has always demanded cutting-edge technology, reliability, and resilience.The latest breakthrough in power electronics, gallium nitride (GaN) technology, has emerged as a game-changer for space-based systems offering superior radiation tolerance and unmatched electrical performance compared to traditional silicon MOSFETs.
In this article, we delve into the reasons why GaN power devices are the ultimate choice for power conversion applications in space and how their resistance to radiation makes them an extremely robust solution for space missions.
