DALLAS, June 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments
(TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today announced a long-term
collaboration with Delta Electronics, a global power and energy
management manufacturer, to create next-generation electric vehicle
(EV) onboard charging and power solutions. This work will leverage
both companies' research and development capabilities in power
management and power delivery in a joint innovation laboratory in
Pingzhen, Taiwan. Together, TI and
Delta aim to optimize power density, performance and size to
accelerate the realization of safer, faster-charging and more
affordable EVs.
"The transition to electric vehicles is key to helping achieve a
more sustainable future, and through years of collaboration with
Delta Electronics, we have a solid foundation to build upon," said
Amichai Ron, senior vice president
for Embedded Processing at TI. "Together with Delta, we will use TI
semiconductors to develop EV power systems like onboard chargers
and DC/DC converters that are smaller, more efficient and more
reliable, increasing vehicle driving range and encouraging more
widespread adoption of electric vehicles."
"Delta has been developing high-efficiency automotive power
products, systems and solutions since 2008 to help reduce
transportation-related carbon emissions," said James Tang, executive vice president of Mobility
and head of the Electric Vehicle Solutions business group at Delta
Electronics. "Through the establishment of this joint innovation
laboratory with TI, Delta intends to leverage TI's abundant
experience and advanced technology in digital control and GaN to
enhance the power density and performance of our EV power systems.
With more leading-edge product development and design capabilities,
we aim to achieve closer technology exchange and collaboration to
accelerate product development and improve product safety and
quality. We look forward to furthering our technology leadership
and creating a win-win situation in the rapidly developing electric
vehicle market."
Three phases of development for next-generation automotive
power solutions
- Phase one for the collaboration focuses on Delta's development
of a lighter-weight, cost-effective 11kW onboard charger, using
TI's latest C2000™ real-time microcontrollers (MCUs) and TI's
proprietary active electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter
products. The companies are working together using TI's products to
reduce the charger's size by 30% while achieving up to 95% power
conversion efficiency.
- In phase two, TI and Delta will leverage the latest C2000
real-time MCUs for automotive applications to enable automakers to
achieve automotive safety integrity levels (ASILs) up to ASIL D,
which represents the strictest automotive safety requirements.
Highly integrated automotive isolated gate drivers will further
enhance the power density of onboard chargers, while also
minimizing overall solution size.
- In phase three, the two companies will collaborate to develop
the next generation of automotive power solutions, capitalizing on
TI's more than 10 years of experience in developing and
manufacturing products with gallium nitride (GaN) technology.
"The rapid growth of electronics in automotive applications has
enabled more feature-rich, efficient and safer vehicles. However,
technical challenges remain," said Luke
Lee, president of Taiwan,
Japan, Korea and South Asia, Texas Instruments. "Having been in
Taiwan for 55 years, coupled with
decades of experience in automotive power management, TI has built
a strong connection with the local automotive industry.
Establishing this collaboration and joint innovation laboratory
with Delta is just one more way TI is driving vehicle
electrification forward."
