onsemi Launches Elite Pairing Studio to Simplify SiC MOSFET and Gate Driver Pairing for Power Electronics Design - Quiver Quantitative

onsemi has launched the industry-first Elite Pairing Studio, an online design tool aimed at simplifying the pairing of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and gate drivers in power electronics applications.... Read original →

onsemi’s Elite Pairing Studio isn’t just a design tool—it’s a strategic recasting of the SiC power ecosystem. Technically, it shifts device-level simulation upstream into early system architecture, compelling foundries and module makers to co-validate faster, reinforcing onsemi’s closed-loop with its Elite Power Simulator. From a compliance angle, it mitigates customer risk of failing energy-efficiency mandates under EU battery regulations and the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, cutting certification costs. Facing vertical integration by Wolfspeed and Infineon, this is a software-defined countermove to lock in design wins at the earliest stage. Within 18 months, 'Simulation-as-a-Service' will emerge as a critical battleground; leading players may acquire PLECS-like platforms to fortify moats, while smaller competitors lacking ecosystem access risk exclusion from AI data center and EV supply chains.
