Mouser Electronics and NXP Deliver Expert Perspectives on Motor Control for Electric Vehicles in New eBook
Mouser Electronics, Inc., the New Product Introduction (NPI) leader™ empowering innovation, today announces a new eBook in collaboration with NXP Semiconductors exploring how the electrification of systems, including industrial and automotive, relies heavily on advances and innovation in motor control technology. Efficient motor control systems are critical to enable optimal electric vehicle (EV) performance. NXP’s new eBook shows how design engineers can reduce power losses and improve system efficiency to make EVs more reliable, increase drive range, and enhance safety.
In 11 Experts Discuss Advanced Motor Control for Modern Electric Vehicles, engineers from across the automotive industry, including NXP, discuss the role of motor control systems in modern EVs, the impact of motor control on various vehicle aspects, and how NXP Semiconductors helps its customers design advanced motor control systems that ensure efficiency and safety. NXP is a world leader in motor control and automotive processors, and offers customers a broad portfolio of solutions, many of which are highlighted in the eBook.
The NXP Semiconductors S32K3 32-bit microcontrollers (MCU) are designed for automotive body electronics, battery management and emerging zone controllers. These devices simplify software development with an enhanced package that spans security, functional safety and low-level drivers. The scalable 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M7 based S32K3 MCUs are offered in single, dual and Lockstep core configurations with support for up to ASIL D level functional safety.
The S32M2 integrated solution for 12V motor control combines high-voltage analog functionalities, communication interfaces and an MCU in a compact system in package (SiP). Its features make it ideal for streamlined control of BLDC and PMSM motors used for in-vehicle applications such as pumps, fans, sunroofs, seat positioning, seat belt pre-tensioners, trunk openers and more.
The S32K39 MCUs are optimised for EV control applications. The S32K39 devices include networking, security and functional safety capabilities beyond traditional automotive MCUs to address the needs of zonal vehicle E/E architectures and software-defined vehicles. These MCUs enable NXP’s battery management system (BMS) and EV power inverters to provide end-to-end solutions for next-generation EVs.
The GD3162 gate driver is designed to drive the latest high-voltage Silicon Carbide (SiC) and insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules for xEV traction inverters. The device enables higher-performance traction inverters to extend the range in electric vehicles, shorten charging times, and lower system-level costs.
