STMicroelectronics' SiC Technology Enables BorgWarner's Viper Power Module Design to Power Volvo's Next-Gen Electric Vehicles

 


【Lansheng Technology Information】September 7, 2023, STMicroelectronics will cooperate with BorgWarner Corporation (NYSE: BWA), a global leader in providing innovative and sustainable mobility solutions, for BorgWarner Proprietary Viper-based power modules provide STMicroelectronics' latest third-generation 750V silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFET chips. BorgWarner will use the power module to design electric drive inverter platforms for Volvo's current and future electric models.


Javier Varela, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Volvo, said: "This partnership will increase the range and charging speed of Volvo electric vehicles, and has the opportunity to further increase the popularity of Volvo electric vehicles in the market, while also helping us in 2030. To achieve the goal of electrification of all models, and to improve the vertical integration of the industrial chain, and strengthen the control over key automotive components."

In order to give full play to the advantages of STMicroelectronics' SiC MOSFET chips, BorgWarner and STMicroelectronics' technical team work closely together to strive to perfectly match STMicroelectronics' chips with BorgWarner's Viper power switches to maximize inverter performance. Reduce the size of the electric drive architecture and improve economic efficiency. The cooperation between the two companies can better realize the scale manufacturing effect and meet the rapidly growing demand of the electric vehicle market.


Marco Monti, President of STMicroelectronics Automotive and Discrete Group (ADG), said: "STMicroelectronics' cooperation with BorgWarner, the world's leading automotive electrification supplier, will help Volvo provide customers with outstanding vehicle performance and range. We will continue to expand SiC production capacity and increase SiC supply, including vertically integrated supply chains, to fully support the electrification and energy-efficient transformation of global automotive and industrial customers."


STMicroelectronics STPOWER SiC power chips are mass-produced in two front-end factories in Italy and Singapore, and advanced packaging and testing are carried out in the back-end manufacturing plants in Morocco and China. In October 2022, STMicroelectronics announced that it will expand the production capacity of wide bandgap products and build a new comprehensive SiC substrate manufacturing plant in Catania, Italy. Catania is not only the power semiconductor technology center of STMicroelectronics, but also the research and development and manufacturing base of silicon carbide.

What are the Benefits of Power Optimizers?

Image
  Power optimizer for solar panels is a DC/DC converter that is connected to each solar panel in the PV system, turning them into smart modules. By constantly monitoring the maximum production capacity of each individual solar module, optimizers can increase your PV plant energy production – potentially increasing revenue and shortening system payback time. Simply put, the main benefit of power optimizer is that it maximizes the performance of each panel individually. What are the benefits of power optimizers and why are they needed? When installing solar panels, the panels are connected into groups or arrays. In the case of roof-mounted and in-roof panels, there are usually 12-20 solar panels in one group. If the productivity of one of these panels decreases (shadows from trees and clouds, dust, bird droppings, failures of PV components and other factors), then the productivity of the whole group decreases. Defective or shaded panels may produce 15 to 25 percent less solar energy ...

What is a Power Conditioner?

Image
  Looking to protect your sensitive and expensive electronics? Surge protection is a great start, but power conditioners also offer valuable protection for components in entertainment and sound systems, as well as home office devices. What does a power conditioner do that a surge protector can’t? Surge protectors are a great defense against damaging voltage spikes. However more than surges and spikes can effect certain sensitive electronic devices. Radio frequency interference (RFI), electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and voltage fluctuations can also effect sound, entertainment, and office devices, causing a reduction in sound and picture quality. How does it work? Power conditioners act as a buffer between the outlet and your system, smoothing out voltage fluctuations as well as radio and electromagnetic interference that can effect system performance. Initially used in industrial, research and laboratory applications, not long after the introduction of home computer systems, th...
