NOVOSENSE, UAES and Innoscience cooperating on power electronics for EVs
Chinese automotive semiconductor supplier NOVOSENSE Microelectronics, China’s largest tier-1 automotive supplier United Automotive Electronic Systems Co Ltd (UAES, a joint venture established in 1995 by China’s Zhonglian Automotive Electronics Co Ltd and Germany’s Robert Bosch GmbH) and InnoScience (Suzhou) Technology Holding Co Ltd — which manufactures gallium nitride (GaN) power chips on 8” silicon wafers — have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly advance power electronics for new energy vehicles (NEVs).
The three parties will collaborate on the development of next-generation intelligent integrated GaN products. Building on their combined expertise, the new devices should deliver more reliable GaN driving and protection features, enabling higher power density and paving the way for commercial adoption across the automotive industry.
Through joint R&D and application validation, NOVOSENSE, UAES and Innoscience will tackle critical challenges such as efficiency, reliability and cost. Together, the three parties aim to deliver solutions that combine high performance with competitive economics. NOVOSENSE has expertise in high-performance analog and mixed-signal IC design. UAES contributes knowledge in system integration and automotive applications. Innoscience adds competence in GaN device technology. This cross-disciplinary collaboration should establish a platform for innovation across the value chain, aiming to accelerate GaN adoption in next-generation automotive systems.
