As an indication of strong market demand for 700V, SemiHow, a Korean-based fabless company has already signed on as an early adopter to use Tower's 700V power platform for AC to DC conversion targeting the industrial LED market. Leading competitors' comparable 90-watt products are typically 50% to 100% larger and have Ac to Dc conversion efficiencies generally rated at 85% or less. |
