onsemi Launches Design Tool for MOSFET and Gate Driver Pairing - thelec.net

Onsemi has launched Elite Pairing Studio, an online design tool that recommends optimal combinations of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and gate drivers. This tool aims to reduce power loss, heat genera... Read original →

onsemi’s Elite Pairing Studio marks a strategic inflection in SiC power ecosystem maturity. Technically, it tightly couples gate driver parameters with MOSFET characteristics, pressuring upstream wafer fabs to enhance device uniformity and compelling downstream system designers to rethink thermal management and PCB architecture. Regulatory tightening—especially EU ERP efficiency mandates—elevates the tool’s role in mitigating certification risks and trimming supply chain validation costs. Against rivals like Infineon and STMicroelectronics, which already offer reference design libraries, onsemi leverages AI-driven online simulation to capture early design sockets in AI data centers and 800V EV platforms. Within 12–24 months, such co-design tools will shift from optional aids to mandatory gatekeepers, sidelining smaller power semiconductor players lacking integrated design capabilities.
