Onsemi's EliteSiC silicon carbide semiconductors empower Xiaomi's YU7 800V drive system platform
In an exciting development for the electric vehicle (EV) industry, Chinese automaker Xiaomi has announced that its YU7 electric SUV models will be equipped with onsemi's EliteSiC technology. This cutting-edge technology is set to enhance the performance and efficiency of the YU7 models, offering longer ranges, faster acceleration, and greater reliability.
Simon Keeton, President of onsemi's Power Solutions Group, has highlighted the benefits of EliteSiC technology, stating that it delivers efficiency, power density, and thermal performance. The EliteSiC M3e platform, in particular, is designed to reduce overall system cost and support longer driving ranges.
The heart of the YU7 electric SUVs' improved performance lies in the integration of the EliteSiC M3e technology into the traction inverter. This integration enables higher performance and power density, resulting in faster acceleration for the vehicles.
Onsemi's silicon carbide technology is being hailed as a game-changer in next-generation electric mobility. The low on-resistance of EliteSiC enables peak power delivery within a smaller footprint. Moreover, the 800 V drive platform in the YU7 electric SUV models is powered by onsemi's EliteSiC M3e technology.
As of now, Xiaomi's YU7 electric SUV is the only vehicle publicly reported to use onsemi's EliteSiC M3e technology in its EV program. This innovative technology could pave the way for a new era of electric mobility, with automakers able to design smaller, lighter, and more robust EV traction systems thanks to the EliteSiC M3e platform.
The adoption of onsemi's EliteSiC M3e technology by Xiaomi is a significant step forward in the EV industry. As more automakers embrace this technology, we can expect to see further advancements in electric vehicle performance and efficiency.
