Astute Group and Wise-integration, a French company specialising in digital control of gallium nitride (GaN) and GaN ICs for power conversion, announced a strategic distribution partnership covering Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Wise-integration’s WiseGan family of GaN power devices and WiseWare digital control software deliver significant performance advantages over conventional silicon-based solutions, including superior efficiency, reduced footprint, and enhanced switching frequencies.
WiseGan includes GaN power integrated circuits designed for high-frequency operation in the MHz range, integrating features that streamline implementation with digital control. WiseWare is a 32-bit, MCU-based AC-DC digital controller optimised for GaN-based power-supply architectures.
“Wise-Integration’s decision to partner with Astute speaks volumes about their strategic vision and commitment to market leadership,” said Kevin Baker, Astute’s Franchise Division Manager. “Their embedded systems, manufactured with TSMC’s leading-edge technology, can be integrated into virtually any electronic component. Our collaboration empowers Astute’s customers with the best GaN solutions available, ensuring they stay ahead in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape.”
“Following the recent launch of our North American Design & Development Centre in Canada and our Wise-integration Ltd. subsidiary in Hong Kong, this partnership with Astute Group is a significant step in expanding the global reach of our digital GaN power solutions,” said Wise-integration CEO Thierry Bouchet. “As a recognised leader in electronics distribution, Astute’s extensive network and deep industry expertise will be invaluable in accelerating the adoption of GaN technology across key EMEA markets.”
This collaboration is designed to drive significant innovation and accelerate the integration of GaN technology across a broad spectrum of sectors, including consumer electronics, electric vehicles, data centres, and industrial automation.
