The traction inverter, a critical component at the heart of the EV powertrain, is responsible for controlling an e-motor, improving driving range, responsiveness, smoothness, traction, and handling.

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: To build the traction-inverter systems that meet the needs of the latest EVs, designers must reduce power losses and improve efficiency. MCUs with fast loop control can ...

EV batteries and motors get all the attention, but it is the inverter that does the work of converting the battery's direct current to the alternating current needed by the motor. This might seem like ...

Back when EV enthusiasm was higher, there were fits and starts of vehicle-to-home concepts and products. If EVs and their ginormous batteries are expensive, resource-intensive purchases, the thinking ...
