In a recent episode of the GaN Talk Podcast, Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio explored the JetFleet G18 drone and e-bike platform, showcasing how gallium nitride (GaN) technology enables higher power density and efficiency in electric propulsion. JetFleet founder Jernej Fajdiga described the G18 inverter architecture based on EPC2304 GaN FETs and addressed key challenges such as thermal management and current sharing. He also highlighted the benefits of higher switching frequencies, including reduced motor noise and improved efficiency, and outlined future plans to integrate GaN inverters directly into motors for lighter, more compact propulsion systems.

In this episode of GaN Talk Podcast, host Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio speaks with Shengke Zhang, Vice President of Reliability at Efficient Power Conversion (EPC), about the newly released Phase 18 GaN reliability report. They explore why traditional silicon-style qualification is no longer enough, the importance of test‑to‑fail methodologies, and the critical role of thermo‑mechanical and power‑cycling stress. If you design high‑reliability power systems - from data centers to humanoid robots - this conversation is packed with practical reliability insight.

In this episode of GaN Talk Podcast, Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio hosts a conversation with Federico Unnia, Applications Engineering Manager at EPC. Together, they explore how GaN power devices are revolutionizing high-performance motor drives. The discussion focuses on the new EPC91202 three-phase BLDC inverter, its high-frequency operation, compact design, thermal and EMI optimization, and integrated sensing - showing how GaN is enabling more efficient, quieter, and smaller systems for robotics, drones, e-mobility, and power tools.

In this episode of GaN Talk, host Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio dives into the challenges of embedding motor drives directly inside humanoid robot joints. The spotlight is on EPC’s new EPC91122 circular inverter board, designed to fit inside the motor housing and enable extreme power density and fast dynamic response. Joined by Marco Palma, Director of Motor Drive Systems and Applications at EPC, the discussion highlights how the board integrates control, sensing, communication and power stage around the EPC33110 GaN three-phase power module. The episode explains how high-frequency switching and deep integration made possible by gallium nitride technology are reshaping robotics beyond the limits of traditional silicon drives.

Gallium nitride is moving into radiation-critical space systems, enabling lighter, moreefficient power architectures. In this episode we discuss what it takes to makeGaN QPL-qualified, how it behaves under radiation, why enhancement-mode devicesmatter, and where rad-hard GaN is already used today. We also look at new 300 Vdevices, motor-drive platforms, and the roadmap toward integrated rad-hardpower ICs for future satellites and deep-space missions.

In this episode of GaN Talk, brought to you by EPC, host Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio is joined by Alex Lidow, CEO and co-founder of Efficient Power Conversion, to discuss a major milestone in power electronics: the launch into mass production of EPC’s first seventh-generation GaN power transistor, the EPC2366. Delivering up to three times better performance than comparable silicon MOSFETs, this breakthrough device is designed for high-efficiency, high-density power systems. Together, Maurizio and Alex explore what makes Gen-7 GaN unique, which applications will benefit most, and how this technology could spell the end of the low-voltage MOSFET era.
