Design Supports:
We provide physical spice models that help design engineers to realize their application performance in simulation rather than costly measurements cycles. Our predictive discrete modeling enables system level simulation where parts can be optimized for system level figures of merit, such as efficiency and not just component level figures of merit, such as RDS(on).
Standards:
ON Semiconductor is a member of the JEDEC Wide Bandgap Standards Committee. We are contributing the development of universal standards to help advance the adoption of wide bandgap (WBG) power technologies.
