Stellar E electrification

Electrification is key to transforming mobility and energy systems, while having a positive impact on climate change. EVs require changes in car architecture to reduce energy consumption while maintaining performance, communication, and comfort. Competitive EVs must offer longer driving ranges, faster charging, and take vehicle weight into consideration.

Stellar E microcontrollers are designed for new vehicle architectures to meet the specific needs of electrified vehicles. They ensure efficient power conversion and e-drivetrain applications, utilizing faster control loops to optimize silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) power technology. Electric vehicles require robust hardware for effective power conversion, high performance, and enhanced safety and security.
