Power Converter

Highly Efficient Power Conversion for Smarter Energy Systems

We develop and test advanced converter solutions in the small- to medium-power range for applications such as drives and grid integration. By utilizing state-of-the-art technologies—GaN, SiC, planar transformers, and integrated multiport topologies—we deliver high efficiency and power density at minimal cost.

On display at our booth:

  • The Smart Energy Router – Experience our configurable 40-kW DC/DC converter for the seamless integration of decentralized energy sources and storage.
  • High Availability: Active reliability through intelligent hardware-software fault tolerance, without extensive redundancy.
  • Validated Performance: Proven reliability through Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHiL) testing under transient real-world conditions.
  • Application-Specific Design: Efficient, compact solutions tailored precisely to your energy conversion requirements.

 

Discover the future of reliable, high-performance power conversion- only at our booth.

MORE INFO

Discover at PCIM how our thermal digital twins can help you boost the performance of your systems and consistently minimise downtime. Our technology accurately models the thermal behaviour of power modules in real time. By monitoring just a few measurement points, we generate a precise virtual replica that reliably estimates junction temperatures and continuously tracks the condition and ageing of your components.

 

Key Benefits:

  • Real-Time ageing monitoring: Detect degradation early and avoid unexpected downtime.
  • Smarter maintenance: Plan service based on accurate lifetime predictions.
  • Extend PQ-power curves and overload capability by reducing design margins.
  • Cut costs & size: Minimize overdesign with precise thermal data.
  • Extend lifespan: Enable intelligent control strategies for longer module life.

As power electronics become more compact and efficient, magnetics play a critical role. Our custom planar transformers are engineered for high performance in space-constrained, high-power applications.

Featured at Our Booth:

Planar transformers delivering up to >30 kW/L and >200 kHz operation, designed for maximum efficiency and reliability.

Key Advantages:

  • Ultra-High-Power density: Compact designs with power ratings up to >30 kW
  • Precision performance: Optimized parasitics (leakage, capacitance, thermal resistance) for predictable behavior
  • Low profile: Perfect for tight spaces without sacrificing capability
  • Broad frequency range: Reliable performance across medium to high frequencies
  • System-Level optimization: Leveraging in-house modeling and converter expertise for holistic, cost-effective designs

Advanced Devices

Discover our advanced hydrogen detection sensor solutions, which are characterized by maximum sensitivity and long-term stability.

By utilizing gallium nitride (GaN), we enable measurements under conditions that push conventional substrate materials to their limits.

What to expect at our booth:

  • H₂-GaN sensor demonstrator: Insight into the EU “APECS” project and the real-time detection of minute gas concentrations.
  • Technology comparison: Analysis of the advantages of GaN over conventional materials, particularly with regard to high operating temperatures and chemical robustness.
  • Expert dialogue: Direct exchange with our researchers about current development projects and the evaluation of your specific application scenarios.
  • Application diversity: Examples of sensor integration into existing systems—from industrial exhaust gas monitoring to defense and medical applications.
  • Exclusive insight: Gain up-to-date insights into our current development projects.

Take this opportunity to learn more about this innovative technology at our booth.

 

Come see our innovative developments in gallium nitride (GaN) research at the trade show! We leverage the advantageous material properties of gallium nitride—such as improved performance and efficiency—to advance our research.

Our focus is on increasing efficiency through complex device architectures: While lateral GaN structures have been the norm until now, researchers at Fraunhofer ISIT are developing vertical GaN devices.

What to expect at our booth:

  • GaN Trench MOSFETs: Insights into the development of vertical devices that enable a significant reduction in form factor compared to lateral structures while maintaining the same voltage class.
  • Full-service technology expertise: Presentation of our GaN process technologies and modeling services across the entire value chain—from precise modeling and robustness analysis at the wafer level to pilot production on 200-mm wafers.
  • Application scenarios: Discuss the use of these technologies in IT infrastructure, electromobility, and modern industrial drives with our researchers.

Visit our researchers at their booth to learn more about these exciting developments.

At our stand, our experts will demonstrate how our smart power electronics, featuring innovative gallium nitride semiconductors, help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in industry and transport by millions of tonnes each year. 

In order to achieve independence from fossil fuels and switch to renewable energy sources, production and mobility must be extensively electrified. This increases the need for compact, energy-efficient and reliable power electronics. In the PowerCare project, innovative vertical gallium nitride power semiconductors and real-time-capable failure models are being developed and used in a motor drive. PowerCare is pursuing a new approach in the monitoring concept through a miniaturized motor controller with integrated AI failure prediction. The project thus lays the foundation for the next evolutionary stage of intelligent, sustainable power modules.
