[Editor's Note] Asung Korea is a specialized company in the supply of power electronics-related parts, and it supplies driver boards, SiC power modules, inverters, etc., focusing on high-efficiency electric vehicles and industrial solutions, and is contributing to the domestic power electronics industry. In the meantime, Asung Korea participated in the 2025 Power Electronics Conference held at the Pyeongchang Alpensia Convention Center from July 7 to 10, sharing technology trends for strengthening industrial competitiveness, promoting customized technology support, and making efforts to collaborate with domestic and foreign customers. Accordingly, our magazine met with Bang Jeong-bae, team leader of the AE Software Team of Asung Korea R&D Group, to hear the overall story of Asung Korea.


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

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

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

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

The main purpose of participating in this academic conference is to introduce next-generation power solutions that can lead 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 you submitted to the Power Electronics Conference.

First of all, 'ASI Inverter Driver Board (Version Up)'. This product is a product developed by Asung Korea, and is a driver board with control functions and reliability optimized for the latest power modules. It can be applied to electric vehicles and industrial inverters, and its interoperability with various packages has been enhanced.


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

'ROHM's 4th generation SiC MOSFET-embedded TRCDRIVE pack™ SiC module' was also introduced. This product, which uses ROHM's latest generation SiC technology, succeeds in miniaturizing the power pack and features a design that maximizes development convenience as a module with a built-in driver.

'MotiveLink's POWER inductor and filter' was also introduced. It is a dynamic company that is developing high-efficiency, high-current inductors and filters with many domestic and foreign electric vehicle companies, and is 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, it is optimized for EVs and industrial equipment, and strives to shorten the design verification time for developers with the support of a control program for the first motor performance verification.

In addition, a special booth for ‘Ahsung Korea & Murata Electronics Korea’ was set up to introduce resonant caps, FTI Thermistors, MPS, and OCP products.


■ We are focusing on discovering high-power product groups including electric vehicles. I am curious about what results have been achieved so far.

Asung Korea has recently achieved success in supplying high-power power modules and driver boards through collaboration with a number of domestic electric vehicle and industrial equipment customers.

In particular, along with securing references for SiC-based modules, the company has successfully expanded its demand through customer-tailored designs and technical support, and is also in the process of advancing into the EV charger and ESS sectors.

■ Please explain Asung Korea’s competitiveness and differentiation in the electric vehicle and autonomous driving market.

Asung Korea goes beyond simple distribution and focuses on technology-based distribution based on customer-tailored technical support and a rapid feedback system as its core competency.

In addition, through collaboration with global top-tier power semiconductor manufacturers, we are able to quickly introduce the latest products to the domestic market and provide one-stop support from test board and sample supply to design support. It's a differentiating factor.

■ Please give a word to e4ds readers along with Asung Korea’s goals.

Asung Korea will continue to contribute to enhancing the global competitiveness of the Korean power electronics industry by supplying eco-friendly, high-efficiency power solutions.

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

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