Small electric vehicles (SEVs) represent a growing market for transportation and industrial operations. They are powered by electric motors, less powerful than those in battery electric vehicles. From electric tuk-tuks and golf carts to forklifts, SEVs serve a wide range of use cases, from short-distance travel to material handling.
Transportation and recreational SEVs are primarily used for travel, leisure activities, and personal mobility. Industrial SEVs such as forklifts, various tow tractors, electric pallet jacks and farm utility vehicles can enhance operational efficiency in their respective industry sectors.
onsemi supports SEV development with a scalable portfolio of power and control solutions. Discrete MOSFETs and power modules are essential in all types of power switching and motor drivers. Power management, distribution and vehicle lighting rely on DC/DC converters, LDOs, LED drivers and auxiliary power components. Most circuits need protection whether it is a simple diode or an advanced smart switch..
The new Treo Platform enables next generation of power management ICs, sensor interfaces, communications devices and standard products.
