At the heart of an EV, the main traction inverter converts
battery energy into large amounts of torque and acceleration. The
VE-Trac Direct SiC is an integrated single side direct cooling
(SSDC) power module in a six-pack configuration with a low turn on
resistance of 1.7 mohm. This platform implements the second
generation SiC MOSFET technology from onsemi to achieve new levels
of performance, efficiency, and quality while sharing a compatible
package footprint with its IGBT predecessor. An integrated pin fin
baseplate enables direct liquid cooling and easy assembly which
allows maximum power output and more efficient thermal
dissipation.
“From all the solutions we considered, the VE-Trac Direct SiC
traction power modules offered the best efficiency during testing,
allowing us to extend our New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) range
by 4% compared to the current silicon solution,” said Alan S. Zeng,
senior vice president at NIO. “onsemi convinced us with the high
performance and reliability of its products as well as the
excellent support from its engineering and management team. We look
forward to collaborating with onsemi on bringing more innovative
EVs to market for generations to come.”
The VE-Trac offerings, including previously introduced VE-Trac
Dual and VE-Trac Direct platforms, are available in silicon-based
IGBT and in SiC with various voltages, and for traction inverter
power ranging from 100 to 250 kW. With its standardized mechanical
footprints and expanded power ratings, the VE-Trac product family
is designed to effortlessly scale EV power outputs, accelerating
the adoption of hybrid and battery EVs (BEV).
"This design collaboration is the culmination of substantial
efforts onsemi has put into developing the right technologies for
emerging applications such as smart EVs," said Simon Keeton,
executive vice president and general manager of Power Solutions
Group at onsemi. "onsemi is the only supplier of silicon carbide
solutions with vertical integration capability including SiC boule
growth, substrate, epitaxy, device fabrication, best-in-class
integrated modules and discrete package solutions. We are rapidly
expanding our SiC capacity and are uniquely positioned to address
the growing EV market with supply assurance, performance, quality
and tailored SiC end solutions.”
NIO is a pioneer in the premium smart EV market, thanks in part
to its unique Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS), a breakthrough
innovation in both technology and business model. The carmaker, who
is leading the wave of smart EV and BEV adoptions in China, is
gaining significant market share and aiming to change the way
consumers use these vehicles and elevate their entire ownership
experience.
onsemi will showcase its intelligent power and sensing
solutions, including VE-Trac platforms, at PCIM Europe 2022 at
Messe Nuremberg, Hall 9, Stand 330 from May 10th to 12th.
