Pioneering B-TRAN Technology to Expand Applications in EVs, Renewable Energy, and Data Centers
Ideal Power (IPWR) has announced a significant milestone in its commercialization journey with a multi-unit order for its SymCool IQ intelligent power module. The order comes from a customer specializing in circuit protection and power conversion solutions, marking a promising expansion of Ideal Power’s market reach.
The customer, already familiar with Ideal Power’s SymCool power modules and drivers, is exploring SymCool and SymCool IQ modules for applications in solid-state circuit protection and power conversion across sectors such as electric vehicles (EVs), EV charging, renewable energy, and data centers.
“This multi-unit order for our SymCool IQ is a significant milestone in the commercialization of our B-TRAN technology,” stated Dan Brdar, CEO of Ideal Power. “SymCool IQ opens up additional markets for us, including renewable energy, energy storage, and EV charging. This customer is evaluating SymCool IQ for use in pairing renewable energy with energy storage to leverage the improved efficiency and bidirectionality of our technology.”
The SymCool IQ module builds on Ideal Power’s innovative B-TRAN multi-die packaging with an integrated intelligent driver optimized for bidirectional operation. Rated at 1200V and 200A, SymCool IQ outperforms traditional IGBT modules by offering lower losses, inherent bidirectionality, and reduced thermal management requirements. These advantages lead to increased energy savings, lower operating costs, and compact, cost-effective solutions for OEMs.
Additionally, SymCool IQ includes protection features such as overcurrent and undervoltage protection, along with temperature sensing. Its standard 62-millimeter package makes it a versatile choice for industrial power semiconductor applications.
With this order, Ideal Power is poised to deepen its presence in transformative sectors like renewable energy and EV infrastructure, signaling strong momentum for its patented B-TRAN technology.
