Traction Inverter Market Overview

The traction inverter is located between the high-voltage system battery and the electric motor in the high-voltage electrical system of a car, truck, or bus. The motor is driven by converting the DC power from the HV system into three AC output phases. A vital part of an EV, the inverter and motor work together to determine the dynamics, performance, and driving experience. The effectiveness of the motor and traction under all driving conditions, including acceleration, steady state, and energy recovery into the battery through regenerative braking, directly affects a vehicle’s range. Power integrations provide gate drivers and power supply ICs for the traction inverter that are automotive-qualified, which increases efficiency while reducing cost and space requirements and ensuring functional safety. Packages meet the most recent criteria for vehicles upgrading to 800 V designs with reinforced isolation and longer creepage distance.
