Motor drives are an integral part of industrial and automation processes. These processes often involve the control of machinery, for which safety is always a concern

16-S precision battery monitor, balencer and integrated protector with stacking interface.

Motor applications that sustain higher power ratings introduce design considerations that are not required in lower power applications.

PCB design of motor drive systems is not trivial and requires special considerations and techniques to achieve the best performance. Power efficiency, high-speed switching frequency, low-noise jitter, and compact board design are few primary factors that designers must consider when laying out a motor drive system.

As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, the challenge for automakers is to reflect true range while making the vehicle more affordable. This translates into making the battery packs lower cost with higher energy densities. Every single watt-hour stored and retrieved from the cells is critical to extend the driving range.

PSpice for TI is a design and simulation environment that helps evaluate functionality of analog circuits. This full-featured, design and simulation suite uses an analog analysis engine from Cadence.

A traction inverter converts the EV battery’s high-voltage DC to the AC that the electric motor needs. The traction inverter controls the speed and torque of the motor, and its efficiency has a direct impact on the power and thermal dissipation, as well the EV’s driving range.

UCC33420-Q1 is an automotive qualified DC/DC power module with integrated transformer technology designed to provide 1.5W of isolated output power. 

From surgical procedures to lifting thousands of kilos in manufacturing plants, robots simplify many aspects of our lives. And while the impact that robots have in our modern world may be obvious, have you ever wondered how robotic systems achieve such impressively precise, fast and powerful motions?

This reference design is a 65-W USB PD3.0 adapter targeted for many charging applications including mobile phones, laptops and tablets. The design achieves high efficiency and power density with the use of LMG3624 integrated GaN FET with current sense emulation. 

As the automotive industry pushes to integrate more features into our vehicles, supporting efficient systems for higher electrical loads becomes more important than ever. However, striking the delicate balance between efficiency and electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses a significant challenge.

This white paper introduces functional safety concepts such as hazard analysis and risk assessment, random and systematic faults, safety elements out of context, and IEC 61508 SIL and ISO 26262 ASIL ratings. Examples are provided of how the AM243x MCU and AM64x processor series assist system integrators in achieving functional safety goals through the use of an on-chip safety MCU and safety diagnostics.

With electric vehicles (EVs) in high-demand, manufacturers are looking for ways to improve their performance in safe and cost-effective ways.

High-power, high-performance automotive SiC traction inverter reference design.

This reference design outlines a safe torque off (STO) subsystem for a 3-phase inverter with CMOS input isolated IGBT gate drivers.

This comprehensive, hands-on, laboratory based analog power supply design workshop provides an in-depth look at the design of modern, stable and robust switch mode power supplies. 

Switching converters generally requires some form of system-level current sensing for control, protection, or both. Many methods and devices exist to accurately measure and translate current to some voltage processed by a digital or analog controller.

System design and functional safety compliance should not happen serially. Unfortunately, traditional design approaches – and many organizations – treat these steps in the design process as separate, siloed activities, often leading to increased design costs and delays getting to market.
