New approaches for high volume markets

Energy-efficiency is vital!

CamSemi’s products are based on its portfolio of patented, proprietary technologies and topologies including intelligent control architectures, RDFC and PowerBrane. These new approaches can benefit multiple markets although initially the company is targeting two major opportunities: high-volume mains power supplies and lighting applications.

The power semiconductor market is estimated to be worth over $16 billion and experiencing renewed growth and faster expansion than the overall IC market.

CamSemi’s approach is to offer advanced power management ICs that will help manufacturers find faster, simpler and lower cost ways to develop more energy-efficient power conversion products. Manufacturers are already under considerable regulatory and market pressure to cut standby losses and improve power conversion efficiencies but face a commercial dilemma:

  • using semiconductor products that rely on topologies that are too expensive or difficult to implement for fast-moving consumer markets;
  • or investing significant resources in creating low cost, fully customised solutions.

CamSemi gives manufacturers a new option.

What makes CamSemi different?

New approaches for new challenges.

In addition to offering uniquely powerful products and approaches, CamSemi is building a global sales and support operation to reflect the needs of and challenges faced by our target customers. Global businesses operating in high volume, fast moving markets.

Our goal is to become a leading power IC company: by simply providing advanced power IC solutions that help our customers achieve energy-efficient conversion.

To help guide our corporate development, we have embedded three core values into our organisation.

In all our activities we aim to be:

  • a solutions provider – by developing products with compelling technical advantages, while helping our customers meet many of the other challenges they face when addressing current and future energy-efficiency standards.
  • customer driven - and taking a true partnering approach with our customers, suppliers and other stakeholders.
  • a trusted partner – by delivering what we promise, every time.
