Semiconductor giant, Onsemi, has introduced an online design environment called Elite Pairing Studio to help engineering teams simplify their power designs. It enables pairing SiC MOSFETs and gate drivers for demanding power electronics applications, including AI data centres, electric vehicles, and industrial systems. Ultimately, this should lead to better-informed engineering decisions earlier and reduced design iterations.
Onsemi is pitching its Elite Pairing Studio to serve as a gateway to its suite of other design tools for better system-level evaluation of performance, efficiency and thermal behaviour.
As power electronics grow more complex, engineers must carefully match gate driver with switching devices to achieve optimal efficiency, minimize losses, and ensure safe operating temperatures. Early component selection decisions have a direct impact on these system-level outcomes, particularly as teams balance competing requirements. Traditionally, this process requires time consuming manual evaluation and simulation via extensive datasheet comparisons, spreadsheet analysis, and empirical testing.
The cloud-based Elite Pairing Studio environment works by giving engineers access to a private and secure workspace on onsemi.com where they can use an intuitive workflow to explore device combinations based on their inputs. The tool evaluates a wide range of gate driver combinations with the selected SiC MOSFET, using transparent methods based on established industry equations and real-world performance calculations.
The Onsemi Elite Pairing Studio is available now through its website and will also be shown at the Onsemi’s booth (Hall 9-332) at PCIM Expo 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany.
