The traction inverter converts DC battery power to precise AC for EV motors, delivering between 80 to over 300 kW power under extreme thermal conditions in a compact design. NXP enables efficiency, safety, and reliability with multicore lockstep MCUs for motor control, system basis chips for power management, high-voltage gate drivers, and CAN/Ethernet connectivity.
Software packages simplify speed/torque control and support ISO 26262 up to ASIL D. Our reference platform includes schematics, BOM, layouts, and supports IGBT/SiC MOSFETs—accelerating high-performance inverter design.
