Minysa €163K in funding from Venture Kick

The funding will be used to speed up the development of Minysa's next-generation gallium nitride (GaN) control chips, which are designed to improve the performance and efficiency of advanced power electronic systems.

GaN-based power devices can perform better than traditional silicon-based technologies. They offer higher power output, better energy efficiency, and produce less heat during operation.

Despite these benefits, the wider use of GaN technology has been limited because it requires complex control systems, must meet strict reliability standards, and goes through challenging testing and certification processes.

Minysa is developing technology designed to solve these challenges and make it easier to use GaN devices in applications where high reliability is essential.

The company is initially focusing on the European space electronics market, where efficiency, reliability, and reducing dependence on foreign technology are becoming increasingly important.

Minysa has already attracted interest from the space and high-reliability electronics sectors. The company is working with four space industry customers and is involved in two European Space Agency-funded programs. The new funding will help Minysa develop its first GaN gate-driver chips for space and other mission-critical applications.

Founded by Salem Abid, Minysa develops GaN gate-driver chips that help manufacturers control GaN power devices in a safer, more efficient, and reliable way. These chips are designed to simplify the integration process, making it easier for companies to use advanced GaN technology in their products.

The technology can help create smaller, cooler, and more dependable power systems. It can be used in a wide range of applications, including satellite power systems, motor drives, robotics, industrial equipment, and other high-performance electronic devices.
