MinDCet
High-Voltage, Rad-Hard and Power ASIC Design
MinDCet is a High-Voltage, Power, Radiation-Hardened and Mixed-Signal IC design company, supporting our clients from concept to production-tested ASICs by cost-effectively accelerating time-to-market.
ASIC Design
When off-the-shelf ASICs cannot fulfill your requirements, we develop encompassing solutions by guiding you from the concept to the implementation of the custom IC. Whether your product needs radiation hardening, high temperature-, high-speed-, high-voltage- and high-reliability-capabilities, MinDCet has the expertise and readiness to provide a robust and fitting result.
ASIC Production
Test development and final production testing is offered in-house as part of the entire IC process managed by MinDCet: from foundry access, prototyping, characterization, to packaging, test development, and the final production and testing.
MinDCet is your single point of contact. Our network of partners and closed-loop interaction between our test engineers and IC designers ensures a stable production flow.
ASIC Products
The quest for efficiency is pushing the adoption of SiC and GaN transistors in power conversion solutions. These wide-bandgap devices have beneficial but challenging properties when hard-switched. In order to use them at their full potential, new trade-offs need to be made that translate to the design of custom gate drivers.
MinDCet offers several standard products focused on driving wide-bandgap transistors.
Measurement Systems
Accurate simulation of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) circuits were previously impossible due to lacking models of inductors and capacitors. Enter MinDCet, developing the MADMIX and MADCAP equipment to fully enable this key component of the power IC process.
These patented systems allow measurement of AC losses in SMPS inductors and capacitors under real-life, switched-mode stimuli. Today this equipment is commercially available, serving its critical role in many labs throughout the world.
About MinDCet
Leveraging extensive expertise in high-voltage, power and mixed-signal ASIC design, we deliver tailored integrated circuits. Our solutions encompass the full development spectrum, working closely with our clients from conceptualization through to the low-to-medium volume production stage, backed by in-house production testing facilities and pre-production testing capabilities. The high quality development standards are affirmed in MinDCet’s ISO9001 certification.
Core development activities are focused on wide-bandgap gate drivers (GaN and SiC), high-voltage (>650V), radiation-hardened and high-temperature ASICs for power control, sensing and motor driving applications.
MinDCet Measurement Systems develops and produces patented measurement systems for analyzing losses in inductors (MADMIX) and capacitors (MADCAP). These measurement systems are adding value to renowned R&D facilities and universities around the world.
OUR UNIQUE VALUE
