Overview

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 and tow tractors, SEVs serve a wide range of use cases, ranging from short-distance travel to material handling and farm utility.

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.

Products
