Circuit and Control technology

Aiming to contribute to social infrastructure and power electronics products, we strive to optimize QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) by leveraging design, manufacturing, and evaluation technologies. To achieve this, we are engaged in research and development of fundamental technologies, including printed circuit board design and reliability evaluation, motor control, magnetic applications, electrical circuits, and EMC technologies.

Design System & Electronic Components technologies

To improve the efficiency of printed circuit board design work, we have developed proprietary tools that perform rule checks and simulations on CAD-created design data, which are widely used across various business divisions of the Toshiba Group. In addition, to ensure the quality of electronic components mounted on boards, we are working to advance various evaluation technologies, including component manufacturer selection, manufacturability evaluation, and long-term reliability assessment.

Printed Circuit Board-Reliability technologies

Electronic components mounted on printed circuit boards can be damaged during long-term use due to heat and vibration. To reduce quality risks, we are developing technologies to predict service life leading to damage and reliability evaluation technologies that clarify damage mechanisms. We also possess physical and chemical analysis technologies to identify the causes of field failures. To further accelerate and improve the accuracy of these technologies, we are also working on AI development.

Control & Magnetic Application technologies

We develop new circuits and control algorithms that achieve high efficiency, miniaturization, and cost reduction in motor drive systems and power conversion systems. Furthermore, by leveraging magnetic field, thermal, and structural analyses in magnetic circuit design, together with advanced manufacturing technologies, we rapidly realize high-performance magnetic application products.

Electric Circuit & EMC technologies

To suppress development rework caused by electromagnetic noise issues in power electronics products, which are in increasing demand for achieving carbon neutrality, we are developing electromagnetic noise analysis technologies that clarify the fundamental principles of noise generation and propagation, as well as circuit and electromagnetic field simulation technologies that enable prediction and planning of noise suppression methods at the design stage.
