Reference design supports light EV applications

Arrow Electronics, in collaboration with Vishay eMobility, recently announced the launch of a low-voltage traction inverter reference design tailored for light electric vehicles (LEVs).

This reference design addresses the growing demand for sustainable, energy-efficient urban transportation solutions such as e-bikes, e-scooters, and compact commercial and agricultural vehicles.

Built on NXP’s S32K3xx MCU platform and Vishay’s advanced power board, the design delivers a complete hardware and embedded software solution with support for functional safety and pre-compliance with IEC61508 standards.

Optimized for 48, 72, and 96-V applications, the modular and scalable architecture supports power ratings up to 3 kW — making it ideal for a range of next-generation LEVs.

The reference design empowers architects and powertrain engineers to surmount technical challenges in electric mobility, helping bring safer, smarter, and more sustainable vehicles to the market, faster.
