EInfochips—an Arrow Electronics company—has expanded collaboration with NXP Semiconductors to help accelerate the development of industrial high-voltage battery energy storage systems. The companies have jointly developed a production-grade, modular and flexible energy storage reference platform capable of handling up to 1500 V and 500 A. This includes the complete hardware design, all layers of embedded firmware and functional safety documentation that meets Safety Integrity Level (SIL)-2 and Class B of IEC 61508 and IEC 60730 standards, pre- certified by SGS-TÜV in Germany.
Arrow Electronics’ VP of global engineering and design services, Murdoch Fitzgerald, said: “Combining eInfochips’ strength
in engineering and design services with NXP Semiconductors’ innovative products will help customers deliver leading edge BESS and accelerate and derisk their design cycles.”
NXP Semiconductors’ senior director, power and energy, industrial and IoT systems engineering and marketing, Alexandra Dopplinger, added: “This collaboration with eInfochips represents a significant step to enable more teams to confidently embrace high-voltage energy storage design projects.”
