Introducing a New Era of Power Management
At Electronica 2024, Onsemi released an industry-defining innovation that’s set to transform power management for high-performance systems. Vijay, Corporate Fellow at Onsemi, presented the first 65-nanometre BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) platform, a solution that combines high-voltage power management, high-density digital computation, and high-performance analogue capabilities onto a single piece of silicon. This platform promises to optimise traditional multi-chip power systems into a compact, efficient, all-in-one solution.
Redefining Power with a Single-Chip Solution
In most high-power systems, each critical component—high voltage handling, computation, and analogue signal processing—requires a dedicated chip. While effective, these separate systems consume valuable board space, reduce efficiency, and necessitate complex integration. Onsemi’s new platform eliminates these limitations by integrating all functions into a single, modular chip, improving system performance and reducing power losses.
Revolutionising Automotive and Industrial Applications
This innovative design is a game-changer for space-sensitive, thermally demanding environments like automotive and industrial applications. The modular approach of Onsemi’s solution scales effortlessly, managing everything from routine tasks to complex computational needs, including AI-driven systems. Designers benefit from the flexibility to incorporate only the necessary elements—whether high-voltage, analogue, or digital processing—allowing tailored solutions without excessive customisation.
Speeding Up Product Development
The platform’s modular nature also expedites product development timelines. By reusing proven IP blocks across various configurations, designers can significantly cut down on development time. Vijay highlighted that this approach could save years in product timelines, allowing companies to prioritise performance optimisation over multi-chip integration challenges.
A New Standard for Power Management
Onsemi’s announcement marks a pivotal moment in power management, offering compact, flexible, and highly efficient solutions to meet future high-performance demands. This innovation positions Onsemi as a leader in creating next-generation power platforms that simplify design and enhance reliability.
