Efficient Power Conversion will showcase its latest Gen 7 gallium nitride (GaN) power technologies at PCIM Europe 2026, focusing on humanoid robotics, drone propulsion, compact motion systems, and AI power delivery applications.
The company’s demonstrations center on how high-frequency GaN devices enable smaller, lighter, and more efficient motion-control and power-conversion architectures. EPC’s latest integrated ePower Stage ICs, including the EPC33110 and EPC2310x families, target compact three-phase motor drives for humanoid joints, robotic arms, and drone propulsion systems. These devices support operation up to 100 V with current capability up to 35 A, delivering high switching frequency and improved power density for intelligent motion systems.
EPC will also highlight multiple low-voltage GaN FETs optimized for AI infrastructure and high-density DC-DC conversion, including:
- EPC2366 (40 V, 0.84 mΩ) for synchronous rectification,
- EPC2361 (100 V, 0.75 mΩ),
- EPC2304 and EPC2305 for isolated DC-DC conversion,
- New Gen 7 devices such as EPC2370, EPC2377, EPC2378, and EPC2375 in compact dual-cooled QFN packages.
The company will demonstrate these components across several reference platforms, including:
- Three-phase inverter boards for robotic and drone propulsion,
- High-density isolated converters for AI servers,
- Totem-pole PFC stages,
- Intermediate bus converters and synchronous buck architectures.
A major strategic theme is EPC’s positioning of low-voltage GaN as a core enabling technology for both intelligent motion systems and AI computing infrastructure. The company emphasizes that higher switching frequencies allow reductions in passive component size, system weight, and thermal complexity while improving transient response and overall efficiency.
Beyond robotics and drones, EPC will showcase how the same GaN platform supports compact electrified systems such as e-bikes and power tools, while also scaling into multi-kilowatt AI server power architectures.
