Founded
2007California-based Transphorm, Inc. manufactures power conversion products, reducing electric losses globally.
Transphorm achieved the industry-first JEDEC qualification of a 600-volt gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistor in 2012 and later added AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Its normally-off devices provide a plus-minus 20-volt gate robustness margin and a 4-volt noise-immunity threshold that support stable switching and simplified gate-drive design.
The company emphasizes ease of drivability and designability alongside higher power density than comparable silicon MOSFET solutions. Following the Renesas acquisition, the technology is carried into Winning Combinations reference designs that pair power devices with complementary control and conversion components.

Transphorm is a Goleta semiconductor company that now operates as the gallium nitride business of Renesas Electronics. It designs, manufactures, and sells high-reliability gallium nitride power products used for high-voltage power conversion across electric vehicles, data centers, artificial intelligence infrastructure, renewables, industrial systems, and consumer applications.
The business continues to be led by co-founders Primit Parikh as president and chief executive officer and Umesh Mishra as board chair and chief technology officer, who is also a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Transphorm offers JEDEC-qualified and AEC-Q101-qualified normally-off gallium nitride field-effect transistors, including its SuperGaN Generation IV family with devices such as the 650-volt 35-milliohm TP65H035G4WS. The portfolio pairs a gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistor with a silicon MOSFET in a cascode arrangement that enables efficient bridgeless totem-pole power-factor correction.
Automotive variants of the technology address on-board chargers and three-in-one electric vehicle powertrain systems. The devices target higher switching frequency and power density in power conversion stages used across computing, mobility, and energy equipment.
