Power Integrated Circuits & Intelligent Gate Driving
Integrating power devices, gate drivers, protection and sensing into a single chip or module — combined with digital control and condition monitoring for more compact, intelligent power stages.
As device performance improves, the bottleneck often moves to driving, protection and integration. Achieving precise control and reliable protection in a small volume is the core challenge of power-stage design.
Research focus
Intelligent gate driving
Active switching-speed control to suppress ringing and EMI.
On-chip current and thermal sensing
Lossless measurement and condition monitoring for health management.
Isolation and protection circuits
