EPC launches 90–265V universal AC input to 15–48V DC output power supply for USB PD3.1 ultra-fast chargers
What happened
Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) has launched the EPC9171 reference design, a 240W GaN-based power supply for USB PD3.1 fast chargers, achieving a power density of 1.1W/cm³. This is a new product announcement showcasing GaN technology's application in high-power consumer adapters. Neutral: This is a technology showcase and reference design launch, unlikely to cause immediate supply-demand shifts for GaN components; it may incrementally support long-term GaN adoption.
