At CISSOID, we are dedicated to ease of development, high reliability and maximizing efficiency, in a responsible and sustainable way.
Through our new platforms, we strive to advance the ease of development and thereby shorten time-to-market, while maintaining our market-leading standards of high reliability.
All our research and development efforts go into designing products that maximize the efficient use of energy.
In all our dealings as an enterprise, we make every effort to conduct business ethically and responsibly, with a constant eye toward improving ways to manufacture products in a sustainable way.
The history
Founded in March 2000, spun out of research started at the University of Louvain-La-Neuve in Belgium, CISSOID can draw from more than 25 years of expertise in developing
solutions for harsh and demanding environments. The know-how in component development, system design
and packaging has led to delivering semiconductors that have been independently tested to
reliably operate from -195° to +400°C over extended periods of time, enabling long operating lifetimes and
robust applications. In less extreme environments, this know-how ensures the application's reliability and longevity.
Developing Silicon Carbide (SiC) solutions since 2009, CISSOID has been building up experience in designing high-performance and self-protected gate drivers, to seamlessly match the power-switching devices they are controlling. The next logical step was to combine both those elements into Intelligent Power Modules.
Culminating in the new modular inverter platform, alleviating first of all the challenge of matching the gate driver to the power switching stage, and also alleviating the even more daunting challenge of matching the control processor and its accompanying software, into one coherent whole. By bringing together the key hardware and software elements, consisting of an Intelligent Power Module (IPM), a real-time controller board, customizable e-motor control software, a liquid cooler, and an optimized DC-link capacitor, a unique modular platform has been created. This platform brings down man-years of development effort to a handful of weeks.
