onsemi Silicon Carbide Power Module for Traction Inverters Selected forHyundai Motor Group’s High Performance Electric Vehicles
onsemi’s EliteSiC silicon carbide (SiC) modules increase the efficiency and lower the weight of
the South Korean automaker’s traction inverters, extending electric vehicle (EV) range andimproving performance
PHOENIX – Jan. 4, 2023 – onsemi (Nasdaq: ON), a leader in intelligent power and sensing
technologies, today announced that onsemi’s EliteSiC family of silicon carbide (SiC) power modules has
been selected for Kia Corporation’s EV6 GT model. The electric vehicle (EV) accelerates from zero to 60mph in 3.4 seconds and reaches top speed at 161 mph. Within the traction inverter of a high performanceEV, the EliteSiC power module enables high-efficiency power conversion from the DC 800 V of thebattery to the AC drive for the rear axle. onsemi continues to collaborate with Hyundai Motor Company
and Kia Corporation (HMC/KIA) to use the EliteSiC technology for the upcoming high performance EVs
based on HMC/KIA’s Electric – Global Module Platform (E-GMP).
onsemi’s high-power density SiC power module delivers the most innovative package technology tominimize parasitics and thermal resistance and offers robust package reliability using innovativeinterconnects. This leads to reduced power losses associated with DC to AC conversion along with
reduced size and weight of the traction inverter, increasing performance and EV range by 5%.
With decades of superior packaging expertise in high-density power solutions for automotive applications,onsemi differentiated power module technology delivers industry-leading power traction solutions.
Exceptional packaging technology alongside an evolutionary path from planar to trench cell structures in
SiC enable onsemi to provide highly robust and reliable solutions to industry leader HKMC/KIA.
“Our collaboration with HMC/KIA is rooted in the superior performance of our EliteSiC technology,” said
Simon Keeton, executive vice president and general manager, Power Solutions Group, onsemi. “Asimportant is our quickly growing, vertically integrated SiC supply chain that allows onsemi to plan for thenecessary scale to support high-volume production for EVs.”
