Volkswagen (VWAGY) and onsemi (ON) in strategic collaboration on silicon carbide for EVs. onsemi announced that it signed a strategic agreement with German Volkswagen AG (VWAGY) to provide modules and semiconductors that enable a complete electric vehicle traction inverter solution for VW’s next-generation platform family. The semiconductors are part of an overall system optimization and provide a solution that will support the front and rear traction inverters in the VW models. As part of the agreement, onsemi will deliver in a first step its EliteSiC 1200 V traction inverter power modules. The EliteSiC power modules are pin to pin compatible to easily scale the solution to different power levels and types of motors. "The superior performance and quality of onsemi’s traction inverter modules together with our joint efforts to create the best system solution enable us to deliver the outstanding driving experience and quality customers expect from a VW group vehicle," said Karsten Schnake, head of the operative and strategic semiconductor taskforce COMPASS at Volkswagen AG.
