Main Inverter

A cut away view of an electrical vehicle showing the electric motors and power circuits
As vehicle electrification continues, there is a need to convert the Direct Current (DC) electricity from the vehicle’s battery pack into the Alternating Current (AC) electricity needed by the powertrain drive motors. The Main Inverter subsystem is the circuits that perform such a conversion allowing for higher efficiency and greater travel distance. The harsh environmental requirements and demanding electrical performance make this a critical piece of the electric vehicle design.

Logic buffers, drivers, receivers and transceivers allow isolated access to logic signals from one circuit for use in another circuit. Buffers pass their input signal, either unchanged or inverted, to their output and may be used to clean up a weak signal or drive a load. In a boolean logic simulator, a buffer is mainly used to increase propagation delay. Logic receivers and transceivers allow isolated communication between data buses.

Memory is a semiconductor device that is used as data storage device on an integrated circuit. These devices are available in several formats CBRAM, DRAM, EEPROM, EERAM, EPROM, Flash, FRAM, NVSRAM, PCM (PRAM), PSRAM, RAM, and SRAM in either Non-Volatile or Volatile. These devices memory sizes range from 64 b to 6 Tb with the interface being I2C, MMC, Parallel, eMMC, Serial, Single Wire, SPI, UFS, Xccela Bus, and 1-Wire.

Products in the modular embedded processor family integrate a microcontroller, microprocessor, digital signal processor, FPGA, or other such computational device together with support components such as memory, power management, timing, and other items necessary for their operation. They are suitable and intended for integration into an end product, and offer product developers access to modern computational and interface capabilities without necessity of high speed hardware design experience.

Isolator Gate Drivers are the interface between power signals and an external MOSFET or Bridge architecture circuit. The technology types are capacitive coupling, magnetic coupling, and optical coupling with 1, 2, or 4 channels. The voltage isolation ranges from 1000Vrms to 7500Vrms and the propagation delay ranges from 30ns to 5ms.

Discrete Field Effect Transistors (FETs) are widely used in power conversion, motor control, solid-state lighting, and other applications where their characteristic ability to be switched on & off at high frequencies while carrying substantial amounts of current is advantageous. They are used almost universally for applications requiring voltage ratings of a few hundred volts or less, above which other device types such as IGBTs become more competitive.

Products in the motor driver and controller PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) family are used to control or manipulate the application of power from some source to electric motors or related electromechanical actuators. The precise functionality and feature sets implemented vary widely depending on the characteristics of the intended load and expected application, ranging from simple open-loop speed control for brushed motors to advanced, closed-loop, stepper-based motion control.

Products in the DC-DC switching regulator PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) family are component-level devices used in applications requiring stabilization of a DC input voltage and/or transformation thereof to an output voltage of different magnitude. They are distinguished from similar products called "controller" PMICs by virtue of integrating the main switching element through which the power delivered by the device passes.
