What CISSOID does
CISSOID is a Belgian privately-held semiconductor company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium. It designs and sells Silicon Carbide (SiC) and IGBT-based power semiconductors, intelligent power modules (IPMs), inverter control modules (ICMs), gate drivers, and complete inverter reference designs engineered for high-current switching and harsh-environment operation up to 225°C in hermetic packages and 175°C in plastic packages. Its proprietary HADES v2 isolated gate driver chipset and the company's 25-plus years of high-temperature semiconductor expertise underpin the core technology platform, which is integrated with Silicon Mobility's OLEA T222 processor and OLEA APP INVERTER software to deliver ASIL-D capable motor-control solutions.
The company's product ecosystem centres on a modular SiC inverter platform (ICM3S series IPMs and ICMs, EVK-PLA1050/1060 reference designs, The Pulse motor-control inverter family, and IGBT/SiC discrete modules) that customers can source from components up to fully integrated inverter subsystems. Differentiated offerings include AQG-324 automotive-qualified modules, ellipsoid pin-fin cooling packages, and custom-product capabilities for specialised requirements. The portfolio targets e-mobility (primary), aerospace, marine electrification, and heavy-duty industrial end markets, with named design wins at Applied EV (autonomous vehicles), Hydro Leduc/EL MOTION (truck ePTO), Hyperdrives (compact e-motors), and Thales Avionics (more-electrical-aircraft).
CISSOID generates revenue primarily through direct enterprise hardware sales of power modules, ICMs, and reference designs, supplemented by distribution via Richardson RFPD (global), channel partners (Silicon Mobility, NAC Semi), and custom engineering services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by on-site calibration, design, and validation engineering, with lead generation at industry conferences such as APEC, PCIM Europe, The Battery Show, and Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo. The customer base skews toward mid-sized and enterprise OEMs and Tier-1 integrators requiring functional safety certification and harsh-environment reliability rather than high-volume consumer electronics.
