QPT Gains Admission to the Silicon Catalyst Incubator

 

 

Clean-tech specialist gains strategic endorsement in its mission to save energy

 

Cambridge, UK, October 12, 2022 - SiliconCatalyst.UK is pleased to announce that QPT Limited, the clean-tech company focusing on electrical efficiency, has been accepted into the Silicon Catalyst Incubator programme. QPT will have direct access to the products and services of the Silicon Catalyst comprehensive ecosystem of In-Kind Partners and a wealth of industry expertise through the advisor and investor network.

 

QPT is a semiconductor startup company with a vision to help the world save energy through the development of unique IP that can revolutionize power electronics systems, radically improving efficiency and performance. The company has developed unique new approaches to controlling transistors with very high-speed GaN transistor drivers with picosecond timing precision (low jitter isolation) and digital control loops (based on a novel ADC architecture) combined with converter topologies drawing on RF techniques and understanding of power transistor device physics. The resulting precision timing and high-speed operation provides ultra-low loss switching for motor drives, reducing losses by up to 80% which results in less heat, less cooling, less weight and greater capacity. Silicon Catalyst has built an ecosystem of unrivalled support for semiconductor start-ups, granting privileged access to EDA design tools, silicon foundry runs and intellectual property. The incubator provides networking, access to finance and expert business acumen to successfully launch and to drive growth. This announcement highlights the regional importance and focus from Silicon Catalyst for innovative semiconductor enterprises based in the UK.

Commenting on the news, QPT Founder and CEO Rob Gwynne said, “Our acceptance into the Silicon Catalyst programme is a huge endorsement for our mission to save energy and underlines the importance of our products in the power electronics industry. Electric Motor Driven Systems (EMDS) consume 45% of the world’s energy, and yet their efficiency at typical operating speeds can be as low as 50%. Our new qGaNDrive™ module has a completely new and patented approach for driving GaN transistors for electric motors driven systems. This fully EMC-screened, turn-key, power module improves power efficiency across the range of operating speeds.”
