Innoscience added dedicated ‘design-in’ partner, CODICO, to European distribution network

Distributor to support designers at the ‘start of their GaN journey, through to full production’

29^th August 2023 – Innoscience Technology, the company founded to create a global energy ecosystem based on high-performance, low-cost, gallium-nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) power solutions, has announced a distribution deal with CODICO GmbH, covering all European countries.

CODICO is an abbreviation of ‘The COmponent Design-In COmpany’, and the company is proud to emphasize that it is its Design-In activities that set it apart from other distributors. CODICO is an independent, privately owned company with headquarters near Vienna in Austria, product competence centres in Munich (Germany), Treviso (Italy) and Stockholm (Sweden), and overall, 43 offices in 12 countries. It provides technical support from the initial development phase through to the end product, for a range of high-quality active, passive and electromechanical electronic components.

Commented Dr Denis Marcon, Innoscience’s General Manager, Europe: “Most customers are only at the start of their journey with GaN products, therefore, even though are parts are rugged, reliable and easy to use, designers will need a lot of technical support as they transition from silicon to these WBG parts. We are confident that CODICO is able to provide the technical expertise required to enable our customers to reap the benefits GaN offers.”

Added Thomas Berner, Product Management at CODICO: “Innoscience offers both discrete (InnoGaN™) and integrated (SolidGaN™) GaN power solutions and is poised to be the world’s largest dedicated GaN producer with two 8-inch wafer fabs already in production. Therefore, having Innoscience on board supports our plans to grow in our target segments industrial, renewable energies and e-mobility. Innoscience’s high-performance and reliable GaN-Fets match our strategy to deliver technical state-of-the art components to our customer-base and complements to the drivers we already offer.”
