GaN Systems

A Canada based company in business of designing and selling GaN-on-Si power devices.

GaN Systems was founded in 2008, with headquarter in Ottawa Canada and offices in the UK, Germany, Japan and USA. GaN Systems is a fabless semiconductor company that is the first place systems designers go to realize all the benefits of gallium nitride in their power conversion and control applications. To overcome silicon’s limitations in switching speed, temperature, voltage and current, the company developed the most complete range of gallium nitride power switching transistors for a wide variety of markets. GaN Systems’ unique Island Technology® addresses today’s challenges of cost, performance, and manufacturability resulting in devices that are smaller and more efficient than other GaN design approaches. GaN Systems' CEO Jim Witham was the CEO of Neoconix and Fultec Semiconductor before founding GaN, holding an MBA from Harvard Business School and both M.S. and B.S. with distinction in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford.
