Visteon taps Infineon for EV power conversion
Infineon Technologies has signed a deal with US tier one supplier Visteon to develop next generation power conversion systems for electric vehicles.
The deal will see Visteon use both silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) devices from Infineon for battery junction boxes, DC-DC converters and on-board chargers. The move from silicon to these wide bandgap devices increase the efficiency and robustness of the module designs.
- Visteon sees flat automotive market in 2025
- 750V SiC MOSFET goes down to 4mOhms
- Infineon to supply Forvia Hella with 1200V SiC
“Working with Infineon allows us to integrate cutting-edge semiconductor technologies that are essential in improving power conversion efficiency and overall system capability of next generation electric vehicles,” said Dr. Tao Wang, Head of the Electrification Product Line of Visteon. “This collaboration will advance technologies that accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and efficient mobility ecosystem.”
“Visteon is a recognized innovator and an early adopter of new technologies, making them an ideal partner for us,” said Peter Schaefer, Chief Sales Officer Automotive at Infineon Technologies. “Together, we will push the boundaries of electric vehicle technology and provide superior solutions to the global automotive industry.”
