Energy and sensor expertise firm onsemi (previously ON Semiconductor) has introduced that NIO chosen its VE-Trac Direct SiC energy modules for its next-generation EVs.
The SiC VE-Trac Direct is a 900 V energy module with built-in single-side direct cooling that comes with onsemi’s second-generation SiC MOSFET expertise. onsemi says “An built-in pin fin baseplate permits direct liquid cooling and straightforward meeting, which permits most energy output and extra environment friendly thermal dissipation.”
“From all of the options we thought-about, the VE-Trac Direct SiC traction energy modules provided one of the best effectivity throughout testing, permitting us to increase our NEDC vary by 4% in comparison with the present silicon answer,” mentioned Senior VP at NIO Alan S. Zeng.
The facility modules have a six-pack configuration and a low turn-on resistance of 1.7 mohm.
“onsemi is the one provider of silicon carbide options with vertical integration functionality together with SiC boule development, substrate, epitaxy, gadget fabrication, best-in-class built-in modules and discrete bundle options,” mentioned Govt VP and GM of the Energy Options Group at onsemi Simon Keeton.
