To meet global climate targets, transportation must shift to more environmentally friendly vehicles such as energy-efficient electrified trains. Trains, however, have demanding operating profiles with frequent acceleration and braking, while being expected to operate reliably over a long service life. Consequently, energy-efficient traction applications with high-power density, reliability, and quality are required for implementation. Infineon…

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced three new series of 130 to 300 A three-phase bridge power modules in the ultra-compact MTC package that deliver reliable operation for heavy-duty industrial applications. The Vishay Semiconductors devices are produced at the company’s assembly site in Mumbai, India, and are thus excluded from extra tariffs. The 130 A VS-131MT…C, 160 A VS-161MT…C,…

STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor provider serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has released high-power modules for electric vehicles that boost performance and driving range. ST’s new silicon-carbide (SiC) power modules have been selected for Hyundai’s E-GMP electric-vehicle (EV) platform shared by KIA EV6 and several models. Five new SiC-MOSFET-based power modules provide flexible choices…
