In 2011, the company announced its first GaN on Silicon products: power transistors, diodes and modules, based on its patented, high-performance EZ GaN technology. Electric power waste that occurs during power conversion is equivalent to the daily output of 318 coal plants, and it costs the US economy $40 billion per year.
