Arrow Electronics, Inc. and its engineering services company, eInfochips, are working with Infineon Technologies AG to help eInfochips’ customers accelerate the development of electric vehicle (EV) chargers.

Development of EV chargers, especially DC ‘fast chargers’, is becoming increasingly challenging to equipment manufacturers due to several factors, such as lack of prior experience, stringent functional safety and reliability requirements, and a fledgling support network.

Arrow Electronics and Infineon Technologies partnership

Arrow’s High Power Center of Excellence has developed a 30kW DC fast charger reference platform

The collaboration between Arrow and Infineon aims to help innovators navigate these challenges, while accelerating time-to-market.

As part of the collaboration, Arrow’s High Power Center of Excellence has developed a 30kW DC fast charger reference platform. This includes Infineon’s 1200V CoolSiC™ Easy power modules and also hardware design, embedded firmware, bi-directional charging support and energy metering functionality.

Accelerate speed to market in e-mobility applications

Combining Arrow’s strength in components, engineering and design services with Infineon’s innovative products will help customers accelerate their design and speed to market in e-mobility applications,” said Murdoch Fitzgerald, the Vice President of Global Engineering and Design Services at Arrow.

He adds, “Customers can rely on this collaboration to deliver innovative and leading edge DC faster chargers, accelerate and de-risk design cycles, and get access to a world-class support team enabling them to plan and manage their product roadmap and lifecycles.

Drive towards decarbonisation and digitalisation

Infineon is on a drive towards decarbonisation and digitalisation with our ecosystem partners, and this collaboration with Arrow is a testament to this mission,” said Shri Joshi, the Vice President of Green Industrial Power, Infineon Technologies Americas.

He adds, “The joint 30kW DC fast charger reference platform, which includes Infineon’s latest power modules and devices, will help our customers bring more fast chargers to market as the future moves to electrical vehicles. We look forward to this ongoing collaboration to support our customer base.

30kW DC fast charger reference development platform

The first reference design from this collaboration, a production-grade 30kW DC fast charger reference development platform, is being demonstrated at Applied Power Electronics Conference, taking place from Feb. 25-29, 2024, in Long Beach, California, USA.
