onsemi’s EliteSiC technology powering 800V drive platform in Xiaomi SUVs
Intelligent power and sensing technology firm onsemi of Scottsdale, AZ, USA says that its EliteSiC M3e silicon carbide (SiC) technology is powering an 800V drive platform featured in select YU7 electric sport utility vehicle (SUV) models made by China-based Xiaomi. The EliteSiC M3e platform features what is claimed to be superior performance and efficiency, enabling automakers to design smaller, lighter and more robust traction systems for electric vehicles (EV).
By integrating EliteSiC M3e technology into the traction inverter, the platform can achieve better performance and power density while reducing overall system cost and unlocking longer range for drivers, onsemi says.
With what is said to be the lowest on-resistance in the industry, EliteSiC technology also boosts peak power delivery within a smaller footprint to enable faster acceleration for vehicles without any sacrifice in efficiency and range, it adds.
“EliteSiC technology delivers industry-leading efficiency, power density and thermal performance, enabling the development of electric vehicles with longer range, faster acceleration and greater reliability,” says Simon Keeton, group president of onsemi’s Power Solutions Group.
