ON Semiconductor has developed a novel trench process technology that it claims on average delivers a 40% improvement in on-resistance when compared with other trench processes on the market today.
ON Semiconductor's power devices designed into Changhong's broad range of product lines include pulse-width modulation (PWM) controllers, power factor correction (PFC) and rectifiers.
"China has been committed to sustainable development in the country with high efficiency and low power consumption", said David Chow, ON Semiconductor Vice President of Sales for Asia Pacific.
"At ON Semiconductor, we are developing and providing high performance power management solutions that save energy, minimise component space, reduce heat, bring down operational cost and prolong device lifecycle".
"The joint lab with Changhong will enable us to further develop highly efficient and energy-saving power solutions for increasingly sophisticated and feature-rich consumer electronics".
Changhong is a top brand in consumer electronics both at home and abroad, with an annual sales volume of tens of millions of units of colour television sets.
As the company continues to innovate and move away from its reliance on colour TVs, Changhong has recognised that power management is one of the key technology enablers for future success.
"As a leading consumer electronics manufacturer in both China and the world market, the significance of power efficiency is obvious to us, and the establishment of a power joint lab with ON Semiconductor could not be more timely", said Liang Bai-ke, General Manager of Changhong Component Division.
"Changhong's power applications leadership, coupled with ON Semiconductor's power solutions that meet or exceed increasingly stringent domestic and international regulatory standards, will sharpen Changhong's competitive edge to explore extra miles in global market", said Liang.
