C-MAC and Danfoss announce design and manufacturing partnership
C-MAC MicroTechnology and Danfoss Silicon Power have announced a strategic partnership to co-develop and manufacture intelligent, compact power modules targeted at the rapidly growing automotive sector.
C-MAC MicroTechnology and Danfoss Silicon Power have announced a strategic partnership to co-develop and manufacture intelligent, compact power modules targeted at the rapidly growing automotive sector. C-MAC MicroTechnology is a leader in high-reliability electronic systems, modules and components for the automotive, aerospace and defence electronics markets. Danfoss Silicon Power, a business unit of the Danfoss Group, is a global supplier of standard and customised power modules for the industrial and automotive markets.
C-MAC and Danfoss will combine their expertise to develop Intelligent Power Modules specifically to meet the demands of modern automotive applications, where the electronic systems need to be robust, reliable, lightweight and cost effective. C-MAC will primarily provide expertise in the design of the electronic control circuitry, whilst Danfoss will contribute the power electronics. The automotive market for Intelligent / Integrated Power Modules (‘IPMs') is growing strongly, driven by innovative applications such as Electric / Electronic Power Steering, Integrated Starter Alternators and Hybrid Electric Powertrain Controllers1. These applications are increasing the electrical / electronic content of vehicles and in turn increasing on-board power requirements, creating a demand for integrated power modules capable of rapidly controlling DC and AC motors of up to several thousand watts.
Claus Petersen, President of Danfoss Silicon Power said "We are absolutely delighted to be working with C-MAC, their expertise in supplying high-reliability electronics into applications where size, weight and power density are often a constraint, will enable Danfoss Silicon Power to take our existing designs on to a new level of cost/performance, opening up new applications for us."
Indro Mukerjee, CEO of C-MAC commented "The opportunity to work closely with a company with the pedigree that Danfoss has in the supply of power modules, is extremely exciting. I am confident that the combined expertise of both our companies will result in truly exceptional products, which will further enhance the strong growth we are currently enjoying in our automotive businesses."
