NXP announces collaboration with Delta
Delta Electronics will use NXP’s S32 automotive platform to help accelerate the development of next-generation EVs
NXP Semiconductors has signed a memorandum of understanding with Delta Electronics, Inc to jointly develop traction inverter and power conversion platforms for next-generation electric vehicles.
Delta, a provider of power and thermal management solutions, will use NXP’s portfolio of automotive technologies and its expertise in functional safety and security to enable architectural innovation and platforms for vehicle electrification.
In addition, NXP and Delta have unveiled a joint laboratory focused on accelerating electrification offerings and the development of real-time applications based on NXP’s S32Z and S32E real-time processors and S32K39 microcontroller for safety processing, domain and zonal control, EV control and smart actuation.
Despite the widespread enthusiasm for electrification, there are fundamental barriers to widespread EV adoption that include high battery production costs, limited driving range, and lengthy charging times. NXP says its S32 Automotive Platform along with NXP’s electrification portfolio, aim to reduce these technical barriers, enabling OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to address these challenges.
