Water Tower Research published a note initiating coverage of Ideal Power Inc, calling the company “an innovative and proprietary semiconductor power switch company” working to develop and commercialize its patented B-TRAN power switch technology in the $6 billion IGBT (insulated-gate bipolar transistor) market.
