Semiconductor quantity and functionality in cars continues to grow. As each type of device poses unique test challenges, a ...

ON Semiconductor's Q3 2024 revenue decreased by 19.3% YoY due to slowing EV demand and excess inventory. Find out what makes ...

Cambridge-based QPT is to develop a 1MHz 400V 60kW GaN automotive traction inverter, funded by the UK’s Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC). The project is ‘Verde’, and the inverter will have a sinewave ...

The capacitor boosts vehicle powertrain efficiency. It is designed to meet diverse needs with customizable options and ...

While serving the needs of both the automotive and industrial markets, the new technology is particularly optimized for traction inverters, the key component of electric vehicle (EV) powertrains.

Intended for traction inverters in the e-mobility sector, the plug-and-play module balances performance and cost for optimized inverter design. SiC offers higher thermal conductivity, breakdown ...

The inverter then sends the AC toward the vehicle’s electric traction motor. (The inverter has another important job, too, but we’ll get to that momentarily.) When the AC reaches the motor ...

Along with powering the motor and recharging the battery, the power inverter also helps control speed. The vehicle’s electric traction motor receives electricity from the inverter and provides ...
