Combining expertise in high-voltage ASICs, GaN / PD control and AC-DC power management to advance high-efficiency, high-power-density power solutions.

JOINT POWER EXPONENT, LTD. (“JPX”) announced that it will collaborate with Champion Microelectronic Corp. (“Champion Microelectronic”, stock code: 3257) to develop a new generation of digital power architectures. The collaboration will combine both companies’ expertise in power IC design, high-voltage ASICs, digital control, AC-DC power management and power device applications, with a focus on high-efficiency PFC+LLC and AHB power control architectures.

JPX has long focused on power IC design and high-voltage ASIC services. Its products and technologies cover Flyback Controller combo with GaN, PFC Controller combo with GaN, AHB Controller, MCU and PD Protocol solutions. The company also has design experience in BCD, HV, SOI and UHV high-voltage processes. Supported by analog design capabilities ranging from 1.8V to 1200V, high-voltage IP, system verification, digital design flow and DSP / MCU firmware development, JPX provides integrated services ranging from control ICs and firmware to system verification and customized ASIC development.

Champion Microelectronic has extensive experience in AC-DC power management ICs and power semiconductor-related products, including PFC / PWM control, LLC resonant control, power devices and power system applications. Its expertise in mature power control ICs, power device integration and mass-production implementation will help accelerate platform development and application verification for next-generation digital power solutions.

Key Areas of Collaboration

The collaboration will focus on the development of digital power control architectures, including PFC+LLC and AHB high-efficiency power topologies. The PFC+LLC architecture can be applied to high-efficiency AC-DC power conversion to improve power factor, conversion efficiency and system stability, while the AHB architecture supports compact, high-power-density and high-efficiency power product designs.

By integrating control ICs, power devices, digital control, firmware and system verification capabilities, the two companies aim to develop more competitive power solutions for applications including AI PCs, servers, gaming equipment, high-power adapters, industrial power supplies and communication equipment.

As demand for higher efficiency and greater power density continues to grow, power architectures are evolving toward higher integration, more precise control and lower power losses. Through this collaboration, JPX and Champion Microelectronic will advance a technology platform applicable to high-power AC-DC conversion, compact power modules and customized power ASICs, helping customers accelerate product development and market introduction.

Justin Lai, Ph.D., Founder and Chief Executive Officer of JOINT POWER EXPONENT, LTD., stated: “JPX has long invested in high-voltage power ICs, GaN control, digital power and ASIC services. This collaboration with Champion Microelectronic will combine the complementary strengths of both companies in power control ICs, power devices and system applications, accelerate the development and verification of next-generation PFC+LLC and AHB digital power architectures, and further expand opportunities in high-efficiency power applications.”

Looking ahead, the two companies will continue to advance platform development, Demo Board verification and application introduction evaluation based on market and customer needs. Through complementary technologies and resource integration, they aim to provide higher-efficiency, higher-power-density and more flexible power solutions, helping customers accelerate the development of next-generation power products.
