[Editor's Note] Asung Korea is a specialized supplier of power electronics components that contributes to the domestic power electronics industry by supplying driver boards, SiC power modules, and inverters, focusing on high-efficiency electric vehicles and industrial solutions. In this context, Asung Korea participated in the 2025 Power Electronics Conference held at the Pyeongchang Alpensia Convention Center from July 7 to 10, where it shared technology trends to strengthen industrial competitiveness, promoted customized technical support, and made efforts to collaborate with domestic and international customers. Accordingly, this magazine met with Senior Manager Bang Jeong-bae of the AE Software Team at Asung Korea's R&D Group to hear the overall story of Asung Korea.

Asung Korea is an electronic component technology agency that has been providing solutions specialized in the power electronics field since its establishment in 1992.

We collaborate with leading domestic and international power semiconductor and inverter solution companies, government agencies, and universities to supply power modules, driver boards, and passive components for industrial and electric vehicles.

We actively support customers' product development and mass production through customized technical support, and are striving to establish ourselves as a partner for strengthening the competitiveness of the domestic power electronics industry.

■ Please introduce the purpose of your participation in the Power Electronics Conference and the overall concept of this exhibition.

The primary purpose of participating in this academic conference is to introduce next-generation power solutions capable of leading the era of high efficiency and high power, and to share technology trends with related industries and academia.

In particular, Asung Korea is exhibiting the latest SiC-based solutions and drive boards applicable to electric vehicles, industrial inverters, and ESS fields under the concept of 'High Power & Smart Drive'.

■ Please introduce the exhibits submitted to the Power Electronics Conference.

First, 'ASI Inverter DriIt is the 'ver Board (Version Up).' This product is an in-house development by Asung Korea, a driver board equipped with control functions and reliability optimized for the latest power modules. It is applicable to electric vehicles and industrial inverters, and features enhanced interoperability with various packages.


Next is 'StarPower's SiC / IGBT Power Module and Wafer'. SiC power modules suitable for high-voltage and high-temperature environments were exhibited alongside IGBT modules applicable to various industrial fields. With excellent high-speed switching and thermal performance, they are optimal for electric vehicles, solar power, and ESS.

ROHM also introduced the 'TRCDRIVE pack™ SiC Module with 4th Generation SiC MOSFET Integration.' Featuring ROHM's latest generation SiC technology, this product has successfully achieved ultra-miniaturization of the power pack and is characterized by a design that maximizes development convenience as a module with an integrated driver.

MotiveLink’s POWER inductors and filters were also introduced. It is a dynamic company developing high-efficiency, high-current inductors and filters in collaboration with numerous domestic and international electric vehicle companies, and implementing optimal stability technology by directly debugging with customers at the Uiwang Chamber to implement noise suppression systems for high-power inverters.

'Polepair's Inverter' was also introduced. As a next-generation high-performance inverter optimized for EVs and industrial equipment, it is striving to reduce design verification time for developers by supporting a control program for initial motor performance verification.

In addition, a special booth for 'Asung Korea & Murata Electronics Korea' was set up to showcase resonant caps, FTI thermistors, MPS, and OCP products.


■ You are focusing on developing high-power product lines, including electric vehicles. I am curious to know what results you have achieved so far.

Asung Korea recently achieved success in supplying high-power power modules and driver boards in cooperation with numerous domestic electric vehicle and industrial equipment customers.

In particular, along with securing references for SiC-based modules, we have succeeded in expanding our customer base through customized design and technical support, and are also in the process of entering the EV charger and ESS sectors.

■ Please explain Asung Korea's competitiveness and differentiators in the electric vehicle and autonomous driving markets.

Beyond simple distribution, Asung Korea considers technology-based distribution, grounded in customized technical support and a rapid feedback system, as its core competency.

In addition, through cooperation with global top-tier power semiconductor manufacturers, we can rapidly introduce the latest products to the domestic market and provide one-stop support ranging from test board and sample supply to design support. This is the differentiating factor.

■ Please share a few words with the readers of e4ds along with Asung Korea's goals.

Asung Korea aims to continue contributing to the enhancement of the global competitiveness of Korea's power electronics industry by supplying eco-friendly, high-efficiency power solutions.

We will rapidly respond to new technologies, new markets, and customer needs, and grow into a reliable technology partner.

We ask for the continued interest and support of e4ds readers.
