SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Magwel N.V. announces that ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), driving innovation in energy efficiency, has selected Magwel’s PTM-ET Electro-Thermal Simulation tool for use in its design and verification of high current, high power devices.
“ON Semiconductor is focused on providing leading-edge power management components that enable energy efficiency in electronic devices, which often operate under harsh electro-thermal conditions where device reliability and lifetime are key design parameters,” said Aarnout Wieers, manager of ESD, EMC and Power Initiatives at ON Semiconductor. “An extensive evaluation of the PTM-ET tool from Magwel consistently showed an excellent match between simulation results and silicon measurements with a high degree of predictability. This tool enables our Device Engineering Groups to provide power devices to support discrete and mixed-signal products which are optimized for performance, area and reliability.”
PTM-ET solves electrical and thermal equations self-consistently in the same tool. The PTM-ET tool features a unique capability that enables accurate analysis of electro-thermal coupling (includes die and package models) and thermal runaway of power devices.
“We are excited about the growth of our product offering for the Power Management and Automotive IC markets,” said Dündar Dumlugöl, CEO of Magwel. “Our newest breed PTM-ET forms together with PTM, ESDi (ESD network verification), and SPX (substrate parasitic extraction) a complementary set of solutions for this market segment enhancing the value that our customers are getting.”
