Delta Electronics, a supplier of power components, and Texas Instruments, a semiconductor company, have established a joint innovation laboratory for EV power systems.

Delta aims to leverage TI’s experience and technology as well as its subject matter expertise in GaN, or gallium nitride, to enhance the power density and performance of its EV power systems and increase the company’s competitiveness in the market for EV components.

The two companies have previously worked together on numerous projects, including the development of more sustainable enterprise server power supplies and small-footprint comparators. Delta has built up joint labs with several international semiconductor companies to develop automotive power electronics and digital control systems to meet EV power efficiency and safety requirements.

“Together with Delta, we will use TI semiconductors to develop EV power systems like onboard chargers and DC/DC converters that are small, efficient and reliable, increasing vehicle driving range and encouraging more widespread adoption of electric vehicles,” said Amichai Ron, Senior Vice President for Embedded Processing at TI.
