uDrive Semi unlocks piezoelectric actuators for next-generation technologies with small ICs.
Compact Cooling
Traditional rotating fans are too thick to be integrated into smartphones and tablets. Our high-speed, low-power drivers enable sub-mm thickness piezo-based cooling solutions to cool down AI-powered personal devices.
High-definition Haptics
Thanks to their high bandwidth, piezo devices provide high-definition haptics, allowing users to have a realistic sense of touch. Our compact low-power driver ICs enable the integration of piezo devices into various devices.
Our patented driver ICs are:
-
Low Cost
Allowing the use of low-cost peripheral electronics components, our solution is 70% cheaper compared to existing solutions.
-
Low Power
By recycling the energy stored in the piezoelectric actuators, our solution achieves 60% lower power consumption compared to existing solutions.
-
Small Footprint
By using high-energy-density capacitors as the main energy storage components, we offer sub-mm thick driving solutions.
Our Vision
We make high-performance piezoelectric technology simple to power and easy to integrate.
Our mission is to eliminate the power barrier that has held back piezoelectric technology for over a decade. By developing compact, efficient, and easy-to-integrate driver circuits—the result of five years of dedicated research at Dartmouth College—we empower engineers and innovators to finally leverage the full potential of piezo performance in their products.
