The development work will be conducted in a joint innovation laboratory in Pingzhen, Taiwan, and will rely on research and development capabilities in the areas of power management and power delivery. Together, TI and Delta aim to optimize power density, performance, and space requirements to accelerate the realization of electric vehicles that are safer, more affordable, and offer shorter charging times.

Three development phases for automotive power solutions

In order to achieve these goals, Texas Instruments and Delta Electronics are planning three phases. The focus of the first phase is on the development of a lighter, cost-effective on-board charger with 11 kW output by Delta. For this purpose, the new real-time microcontrollers (MCUs) from the C2000 series and TI's proprietary active EMI filter products are used. Both companies are working together to minimize the dimensions of the charger by 30 percent while achieving a conversion efficiency of up to 95 percent.

In the next phase, safety is the focus. Both companies are deploying the C2000 real-time MCUs for automotive applications, allowing ASILs up to level D to be reached. Highly integrated isolated gate drivers for automotive applications will increase the power density of onboard chargers while minimizing overall solution dimensions.

In the third phase, the companies will jointly develop new automotive power solutions and benefit from TI's expertise in the development and production of gallium nitride-based products. (se)
