Traction inverters: the intersection of automotive innovation and performance
Step on the pedal of a modern electric vehicle (EV) and you’re rewarded with quick, smooth acceleration. Should you be satisfied? Absolutely not. And you don’t have to be, because higher performance and longer driving range are coming to EVs. Because of the way EVs turn stored energy into propulsion, many of these improvements happen at the electrical level rather than at the traction motors level.
EMI debugging with oscilloscopes using fast FFT
Oscilloscopes with advanced FFT capabilities and high sensitivity and dynamic range are the ideal instruments for electromagnetic interference (EMI) debugging. MXO oscilloscopes from Rohde & Schwarz with their fast performance let design engineers swiftly and accurately detect and analyse EMI emanating from electronic circuits and boards with time-correlated RF analysis.

Leader’s ZEN-W Series of next-generation analysers
Leader Electronics of Europe has announced that its ZEN-W Series of advanced analysers will make their European debut at this year’s IBC, which takes place at RAI Amsterdam from 13-16 September (10.C01).
UCC5880-Q1 Isolated 20-A Adjustable Gate Drive IGBT/SiC MOSFET Gate Driver With Advanced Protection Features For Automotive Applications
The UCC5880-Q1 device is an isolated, highly configurable adjustable slew-rate gate driver targeted to drive high power SiC MOSFETs and IGBTs in EV/HEV applications. Power transistor protections such as shunt resistor based over-current, overtemperature (PTC, NTC, or diode), and DESAT detection, including selectable soft turn-off or twolevel soft turn-off during these faults.
ASIC-based zone triggering enhances MXO oscilloscope
Rohde & Schwarz says it has developed the industry’s first ASIC-based zone triggering, implemented in the new MXO series oscilloscopes.
Understanding functional safety for gate drivers and traction inverter systems
As the demand for smart, automated and eco-friendly end-equipment continues to grow, industrial and automotive technologies are becoming increasingly electrified. With this trend also comes an increased emphasis on ensuring electronic systems not only meet standards of EV performance but safety standards as well.
Improving safety in EV traction inverter systems
Electric-vehicle designers can increase the safety and reliability of traction inverter systems by monitoring the gate voltage threshold. When a consumer purchases a vehicle, they assume that the design engineers did their due diligence to create a safe product. In order to achieve a necessary level of safety, especially in regard to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 26262 standards, subsystems within a vehicle such as the tra...
Reducing power loss and thermal dissipation in SiC traction inverters
With increasing competition between electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers to develop models with lower cost and longer drive range, power system engineers are under pressure to reduce power losses and improve traction inverter system efficiency, which can improve driving ranges and provide a competitive advantage.
