Infineon Technologies has signed a multi-year volume agreement for the supply of silicon power chips for electric vehicles with Semikron Danfoss.
Infineon will supply chipsets consisting of IGBTs and diodes to Semikron Danfoss for power modules in the inverters used for the main drive in electric vehicles.
- Infineon shrinks IGBT power module for EV traction inverter
- Infineon in 1700V IGBT boost
- IGBT module for 100kW traction designs
“As the global leader in automotive semiconductors, Infineon enables game-changing solutions for clean and safe mobility. Already today, our IGBTs and diodes play a major role in the industry’s electromobility transformation by enabling efficient power conversion in the electric powertrain,” said Peter Schiefer, President of Infineon’s Automotive division.
“Our broad product portfolio, system expertise and continuous investment in our manufacturing capabilities make us a valued partner of automotive players like Semikron Danfoss.”
“Semikron Danfoss provides automotive customers with power modules based on the most advanced assembly technologies that fully exploit the capabilities of IGBTs and diodes to enable further decarbonization of the transportation sector. Automotive customers trust us as an experienced long-term partner to drive the transformation in the industry,” said Claus A. Petersen, President of Semikron Danfoss.
The IGBTs and diodes for Semikron Danfoss will be manufactured by Infineon at its sites in Dresden, Germany, and Kulim, Malaysia. Semikron Danfoss manufactures its own automotive power modules in Nuremberg and Flensburg in Germany, in Utica, US, and as of next year, in Nanjing, China.
