About

With increasing electrification of vehicles and legal requirements about emission regulation, new technologies have emerged in the automotive industry. The availability of 48 V battery systems is one of the prominent trends in meeting the emerging demands on power due to electrification. Adoption of a 48 V system enables significant current reduction for the same power with accompanying weight reduction for the wiring harness, resulting in lower fuel consumption. As a new voltage domain for vehicles, today’s selection of 48 V micro-hybrid components is limited. But this does not change the fact that you need cost-effective, high performance, and well-aligned electrification solutions for your applications.

Whether entry-level or for upper market segments, Infineon offers a complete system of chipset solutions – from voltage regulators, transceivers and sensors to microcontrollers, smart power drivers and very low-resistance MOSFETs – for 48 V systems.

The new Infineon MOTIX™ TLE9140EQW gate driver IC for BLDC motors  is the right product to design exactly these applications in 8 V to 72 V systems. The ICs also perfectly complements MOTIX™ TLE987x 32-bit motor control SoC (e.g., TLE9877 and TLE9879) products allowing a scalable inverter solution from 8 V to 72 V to maximize HW and SW reuse. Additionally, the innovative and small TS-DSO-32 package allows for space and weight reduction on the PCB which enables designing cost-competitive application solutions.

The MOTIX™ TLE9180D-21QK gate driver ICs with two integrated current sense amplifiers (CSAs) and TLE9180D-31QK with three CSAs are advanced gate driver ICs dedicated to control six external N-channel MOSFETs for high-current 3-phase motor drives. A sophisticated high-voltage technology allows the ICs to support applications for single and mixed battery systems with battery voltages of 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V. A smooth operation from 0 percent to 100 percent duty cycle along with 2 A (typ.) high-power gate driver stage, configurable protection modes with a detailed diagnosis, and SPI interface provide the high level of performance and safety features required for 48 V applications. A high level of integration including functionally independent phase voltage feedback and opamps, a smart supply concept, and safety barrier to protect the MCU allow for system-level BOM savings. Bridge-, motor-, and supply-related pins can withstand voltages of up to 90 V. Motor-related pins can even withstand negative voltage transients down to -15 V without damage.

Infineon's second-generation AURIX™ microcontroller in embedded flash 40 nm technology offers ideal solutions for 48 V applications. Compared to its predecessor, it has an increase in performance, memory size, connectivity, and scalability to address the new automotive trends and challenges. In terms of performance, T33xLP offers one core running at 200 MHz/300 MHz, up to 248 KB embedded RAM, and consumes less than 1 W of power.
