CISSOID Unveils Groundbreaking SiC Inverter Control Module Series: Accelerating E-Mobility Innovation
BonChip Electronics, a trusted distributor of cutting-edge electronic components, is thrilled to announce the arrival of CISSOID's revolutionary SiC Inverter Control Module (ICM) series. This innovative solution empowers engineers within the e-mobility sector to create functionally safe, robust, and modular electric motor drives with significantly reduced development times.
Optimizing Efficiency and Time-to-Market
The CXT-ICM3SA series seamlessly integrates CISSOID's established line of 3-phase 1200V/340A-550A SiC MOSFET Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) with an OLEA® T222 Field Programmable Control Unit (FPCU) control board and OLEA® APP INVERTER application software, co-developed with Silicon Mobility. This modular core engine, tailored to the chosen ICM, is capable of driving and controlling high-voltage SiC traction inverters. It supports battery voltages up to 850V, delivers output power exceeding 350kW, and boasts peak efficiency surpassing 99%.
Simplified Development and Superior Performance
This remarkable integration streamlines the development of SiC inverters by addressing several key challenges:
- EMC Mitigation: The ICM effectively tackles Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) issues commonly encountered with fast-switching SiC transistors.
- Advanced Modulation Techniques: The module supports various modulation schemes, including SVPWM and DPWM, coupled with dead time compensation, for enhanced control.
- Sophisticated Motor Control Algorithms: The ICM offers advanced motor control algorithms, such as Field Oriented Control (FOC) and Flux Weakening management, optimizing motor performance.
Further Accelerating Innovation
CISSOID goes beyond hardware and software integration by providing a comprehensive SiC inverter reference design.This design facilitates motor bench testing of the ICM alongside critical peripheral elements like current sensors, high-performance DC-Link capacitors, and EMI filters. Both the ICM and the reference design are readily available from CISSOID, along with the motor control software and in-person technical support.
Unparalleled Performance and Efficiency
The ICM empowers the control of high-speed motors without sacrificing efficiency. This is achieved by combining CISSOID's low-loss SiC power module with the ultra-fast, real-time FPCU, enabling high switching frequencies of up to 50 kHz. Furthermore, this application-specific processor, designed specifically for e-motor control, features onboard programmable hardware. This hardware accelerates response times to critical events, minimizing processor workload and enhancing functional safety. Notably, both the FPCU and the control software are ISO-26262 ASIL C/D certified and AUTOSAR 4.3 compliant, ensuring adherence to rigorous automotive safety standards.
