Problem
Electric motors consume a significant portion of global electricity, and traditional motor drive systems suffer from substantial energy losses due to inefficient switching and thermal management. Existing Gallium Nitride (GaN) solutions often compromise switching speeds to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and thermal issues, negating the potential power savings.
Solution
QPT offers an "Intelligent Power Module" (qIPM) that leverages high-voltage GaN transistors and proprietary qDrive technology to achieve ultra-fast (<2ns) switching speeds at high frequencies (up to 20MHz) without compromising efficiency or generating excessive EMI. The qIPM's thermal design enables the full power handling capabilities of GaN transistors, resulting in motor drives with significantly reduced losses (up to 80%), smaller form factors (up to 20x smaller), and sine wave output for improved motor performance. This turnkey solution allows companies to develop energy-efficient motor drives for various applications, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers of electric motors, motor drives, and power converters for applications such as robotics, industrial automation, HVAC systems, electric vehicles, and high-power integrated motors.
