NOVOSENSE Showcases Automotive Power Electronics IC Solutions at PCIM Europe 2026

NOVOSENSE Microelectronics announced on June 10 that it showcased a portfolio of integrated circuit solutions for traction inverters, onboard chargers (OBCs), and DC-DC converters during PCIM Europe 2026 held in Germany. The company highlighted several automotive-focused semiconductor products designed to support power conversion, isolation, sensing, and motor-control functions in next-generation electrified vehicles. The displayed technologies address key requirements such as functional safety, signal integrity, electromagnetic compatibility, and high-performance power management across modern automotive power electronics architectures.

Among the featured products was the NSI6911F, an ASIL D isolated gate driver developed for silicon carbide (SiC) and insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power stages. The device offers high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI), a peak drive capability of 19 A, an integrated 12-bit isolated ADC, and multiple diagnostic and protection features. These characteristics enable reliable operation in demanding automotive powertrain environments where efficient switching performance, fault detection, and system safety are critical requirements.

The company also presented the NSI1306 reinforced isolated Σ-Δ modulator. This component converts differential analog input signals into a high-speed 1-bit data stream that can be processed through external digital filtering. The solution is intended for shunt-based isolated current-sensing applications, supporting accurate measurement and monitoring functions in electrically isolated automotive power systems. Such sensing capabilities play an important role in enhancing control precision and operational safety within electrified vehicle platforms.

In addition, NOVOSENSE highlighted its NSI83 family of automotive-grade reinforced digital isolators. The product family combines high CMTI performance with optimized electromagnetic interference characteristics while supporting data transmission speeds of up to 100 Mbps. These features make the devices suitable for applications requiring dependable signal isolation and high-speed communication between critical electronic subsystems in automotive environments.

The exhibition portfolio also included the NSOPA240x family of high-current operational amplifiers. These amplifiers are designed to provide resolver excitation for motor-control systems, supporting position sensing and control functions used in electric propulsion applications. By offering products that address gate driving, current sensing, digital isolation, and motor-control requirements, NOVOSENSE demonstrated a comprehensive semiconductor portfolio for advanced automotive power electronics.
