The Silicon Of The Future: Gallium Nitride Is Changing The World | Real Talk Ft. Rick Reigel | Ep 29

Dive into this episode of Real Talk Ft. Rick Reigel, a dynamic, creative, hands-on, results-oriented leader with years of increasing accountability as the Vice President of Sales at GaN Systems Inc., the leader in Gallium Nitride (GaN) based power management devices, specializing in power conversion. Discover the groundbreaking technology known as Gallium nitride (GaN) and how it can be engineered in to all sorts of power electronics to increase efficiency while also sustaining a higher load. Gallium nitride (GaN) is a very hard, mechanically stable wide bandgap semiconductor. With higher breakdown strength, faster switching speed, higher thermal conductivity and lower on-resistance, power devices based on GaN significantly outperform silicon-based devices. GaN Systems’ approach to a new generation of GaN power transistors is leading an industry-changing shift in both the short-term and ‘near future’ relationship between technology’s power systems and energy–creating significant product and system-wide changes. For corporate leaders, GaN not only changes their company’s immediate relationship with power; it can alter the competitive trajectory of the entire business through the creation of whole new classes of products, systems, and sustainability initiatives.
