About

e-bike and e-kick starter motor drive (<1 kW)

e-bikes, e-kick starters, and similar last-mile e-mobility vehicles typically use a PMSM or BLDC motor drive for traction. The power output is typically less than 1 kW (continuous) as most regions have specified limits on the motor drive power level. 3-phase half-bridge (B6) is a commonly used inverter topology. 

Infineon offers power MOSFETs in compact SMD packages across OptiMOS™ and StrongIRFET™ families and 3-phase half-bridge (6-channel) gate drivers from MOTIX™ which enable compact designs. A wide range of microcontrollers from IMD701A, XMC™, PSoC™, and TRAVEO™ T2G families along with easy-to-use development tools support motor control development with security and functional safety considerations. Last but not least, our XENSIV™ current and angle sensors perform fast and accurate current and rotor position measurement.

e-scooter, e-motorcycle, and e-rickshaw motor drives (up to 20 kW)

e-2/3 wheelers play a crucial role in urban mobility and typically use a PMSM motor drive for traction. There is a huge variance in output power levels with some low-power e-scooters having 250 W continuous all the way up to performance e-motorcycles with >20 kW continuous. 3-phase half-bridge (B6) is the commonly used inverter topology. 

Infineon offers power MOSFETs in various SMD packages across our OptiMOS™ and StrongIRFET™ families, and a wide range of gate drivers from our MOTIX™ and EiceDRIVER™ families. An array of microcontrollers ranging from our XMC™, PSoC™, TRAVEO™ T2G, and AURIX™ families along with easy-to-use development tools support motor control development with security and functional safety considerations. Last but not least, our XENSIV™ current and angle sensors perform fast and accurate current and rotor position measurement.

e-forklift, material handling vehicle motor drives (up to 50 kW)

e-forklifts and other material-handling vehicles ride the decarbonization wave in factories and warehouses. Typically, PMSM or ACIM motor drives are used for traction and lift. This is a high-power segment with huge focus on reliability, given the tough mission profile of the application. 3-phase half-bridge (B6) is the commonly used inverter topology. 

Infineon offers power MOSFETs across our OptiMOS™ and StrongIRFET™ families with characteristics optimized for paralleling, a wide range of gate drivers from the EiceDRIVER™ family with robust isolation.

Micro EV/quadricycle motor drives (up to 50 kW)

Micro EVs are electric-motor-powered quadricycles popularly used for urban commuting. There are specific limitations with respect to dimensions and speed which differentiate them from passenger EVs. Typically, PMSM or ACIM motor drives are used for traction, and 3-phase half-bridge (B6) is the commonly used inverter topology.
