onsemi launches online tool to pair power electronics components - StreetInsider

onsemi's launch of an innovative online tool for power electronics component pairing represents a significant advancement in semiconductor design efficiency and product performance optimization. This ... Read original →

onsemi’s intelligent component-matching platform effectively embeds design services into the front-end EDA workflow, forcing upstream foundries and OSATs to accelerate co-optimization. By algorithmically compressing power device selection cycles, it disrupts traditional FAE-dependent models and raises customer support costs for smaller rivals. Amid U.S. and EU pushes for supply chain resilience, such digital tools mitigate geopolitical BOM substitution risks—but may incur compliance overhead from data localization mandates. Competitors like Infineon and STMicroelectronics will likely respond with bundled IP-enabled platforms to erect ecosystem barriers. Within 18 months, a 'Design-as-a-Service' (DaaS) paradigm will emerge: firms commanding application-specific databases and electro-thermal simulation models will dominate power electronics, while those offering only parametric datasheets face marginalization.
