Stellantis and Infineon are to work jointly on the power architecture for Stellantis’ electric vehicles by signing major supply and capacity agreements.
These cover:-
- Infineon’s PROFET smart power switches, which will replace traditional fuses, reduce wiring and enable Stellantis to become one of the first automakers to implement intelligent power network management.
- SiC semiconductors, which will support Stellantis in its efforts to standardise its power modules, improve the performance and efficiency of EVs while also reducing costs.
- AURIX microcontrollers, which target the first generation of the STLA Brain zonal architecture.
Stellantis and Infineon will implement a Joint Power Lab to define the next-generation scalable and intelligent power architecture enabling Stellantis’ software-defined vehicle.
With its SiC fab in Kulim, Malaysia, the upcoming 300-millimeter ”Smart Power Fab” in Dresden, and the jv with TSMC and partners (ESMC) as well as accompanying supply agreements with foundry partners, Infineon reckons it can meet auto IC demand.
