Nye globale agenturer hos Digi-Key
Digi-Key annoncerer globale distributionsaftaler med LED-fabrikanten Seoul Semiconductor samt EPC, der fremstiller GaN-baserede power managementkredse (in english).
Digi-Key Corp. and LED innovator/manufacturer Seoul Semiconductor have entered into a global distribution agreement. The agreement includes distribution through Digi-Key of the full range of Seoul Semiconductor's products, from the smallest DC LED to the innovative and world's first AC LED, Acriche.
Seoul Semiconductor is a leading innovator of high-brightness and energy-efficient LEDs. Products stocked by Digi-Key are available for purchase on Digi-Key's global websites. Additionally, these products are slated to be featured in future print and online catalogs.
- With technology breakthroughs increasing brightness, or lumens per watt, at lower price points, the interest in LEDs continues to grow dramatically, says Dave Doherty, Digi-Key's vice president of semiconductor product.
- With products such as Seoul Semiconductor's Acriche AC LED, we are confident a global partnership will benefit our customers. Digi-Key's commitment to providing top-quality products continues with the addition of Seoul Semiconductor's product to our broad product offering.
Brian Wilcox, vice president of North American sales for Seoul, says:
- We are pleased to partner with a distribution leader such as Digi-Key on a product opportunity where demand is growing with increasing intensity. The Digi-Key Lighting Partners Program will link our customers to the entire eco-system surrounding the LED, helping them get to market faster.
Exclusive global distribution deal with EPC
Digi-Key has also signed a deal for the global distribution of gallium nitride (GaN)-based power management devices from EPC. Established in 2007, EPC is a fab-less company with subcontract manufacturing in Taiwan. EPC's key markets include voltage controllers, LED boost converters, power MOSFET and IGBT replacements, drivers, power amplifiers and RF MOSFETs.
EPC's founders are committed to developing GaN products to be used as cost-effective silicon product replacements. In June 2009, EPC released the first commercial enhancement-mode GaN transistors. EPC has developed products with behavioral characteristics similar to silicon power MOSFETs to make GaN transistors easy to use.
EPC's products for applications requiring 200V or less are available for purchase on Digi-Key's global websites. Additionally, these parts will be featured in future print and online catalogs.
- Digi-Key has the fastest global logistics and the most efficient supply chain of any distributor with which I have worked over the last 30 years, says Alex Lidow, EPC's co-founder and CEO.
- This will translate into fast and easy service to all our global customers who want to gain access to our enhancement-mode GaN transistors to replace their less-efficient power MOSFETs.
- EPC's gallium nitride-based power management products bring intriguing next-generation breakthrough benefits to existing MOSFET and Bipolar solutions, says Dave Doherty, Digi-Key's vice president of semiconductor product.
- We are thrilled to be the first to offer these innovative products to the engineering community.
