Texas Instruments and Delta Electronics have announced a long-term collaboration to develop next-generation electric vehicle (EV) onboard charging and power solutions.
The collaboration will focus on three phases of development for next-generation automotive power solutions.
The first phase will see Delta developing a lighter, 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 aim is to reduce the charger’s size by 30% while achieving up to 95% power conversion efficiency.
In the second phase, TI and Delta will use the latest C2000 real-time MCUs for automotive applications to enable automakers to achieve automotive safety integrity levels (ASILs) up to ASIL D, the strictest automotive safety requirements. Highly integrated automotive isolated gate drivers will be used to further enhance the power density of onboard chargers, while also minimizing the overall solution size.
The third phase will see the two companies collaborating to develop the next generation of automotive power solutions, leveraging TI’s more than 10 years of experience in developing and manufacturing products with gallium nitride (GaN) technology.
