November 11, 2020 — ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ: ON), which promotes energy-efficient innovation, has established a cooperative relationship with Theta Power Systems International. This cooperation will enable customers to make full use of industry-leading motor control technology and high-performance semiconductor solutions to achieve applications that shift to brushless DC (BLDC) motors.

Theta Power Systems International has decades of experience in deploying motor control software with well-known home appliance companies, and has a global customer base. Theta Power Systems International and ON Semiconductor will jointly solve the reason why motors consume about 45% of the world's electricity, and provide software and hardware solutions to transfer traditional single-phase ON/OFF motors to variable speed three-phase BLDC electronically commutated motors.

Raimundo Rengel, Jr, CTO of Theta Power Systems International, said: "I am very happy to be directly connected with a semiconductor company. Our cooperation will provide reliable and optimized solutions for specific applications."

Wally Klass, CEO of Theta Power Systems International, said: "This is a unique partnership model that will enable ON Semiconductor and Theta Power Systems to succeed in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), home appliances and pool pump markets."

Ryan Cameron, vice president and general manager of ON Semiconductor’s Industrial and Offline Power Division, said: “We pay close attention to the total cost of ownership when we are in contact with markets, applications and customers. The highest energy efficiency is that we can increase the cost of ownership through cooperation with companies such as Theta Power Systems. The most important goal to be achieved. This cooperation leverages ON Semiconductor’s scale and will allow us to access a broad market base, allowing customers to shorten time to market, reduce engineering costs, and move to the world of new technologies without much effort."

Government regulations around the world are pushing to reduce the power consumption of motors by increasing the energy efficiency requirements of HVAC, household appliances and pool pumps. In order to comply with these new regulations and standards, it is actually mandatory to move from using traditional AC motors to variable speed BLDC motors. ON Semiconductor and Theta Power Systems International use the most advanced electronics and control methods to provide customers with a near-turnkey experience and accelerate their transition to three-phase BLDC technology.
