Electric Vehicle – The Future of Electrification

online, on-demand

Is your electric drive train ready to compete?

Electric Vehicles became mainstream in 2021 but where are we really heading and what are the key applications to address?

With government subsidies fuelling the trend in electrification of the transport market, car manufacturers are announcing their departure from traditional combustion engine development and sales.

Driven by the need for improved vehicle range, safety, lifetime and sustainable transportation, innovation in electric powertrains is focused around on-board chargers (OBC), DC/DC converters, traction inverters as well as the battery management system (BMS).

Join the experts from Avnet Silica and our leading supplier partners, MPS, NXP, onsemi, Renesas, Rohm and STMicroelectronics to learn about the most appropriate, innovative, and cost-effective technologies that will be driving design of tomorrow’s electric cars and light electric vehicles.

Topics

Battery Management System (BMS) Design by Renesas

An automotive battery management system (BMS) is the “brain” of an electric vehicle battery pack, and its performance greatly affects the driving range and battery life of an electric vehicle. Renesas products are ideal for accurate and safe BMS applications.

Monitoring cell voltage, pack temperature and current sensing, record significant fault detection and control cell balance to extend the driving range and battery life performance are key elements of a state of the art BMS design.

Renesas sophisticated reference design enables you to extend the driving range which is a major selling factor of a modern electric vehicle.

NXP's High-Voltage (HV) Battery Management System (BMS)

Overview of the high-voltage (HV) battery management system (BMS) reference design based on the S32K3 MCU offering single, dual, and Lockstep Arm® Cortex®-M7 processor versions for up to ASIL D safety applications. Learn how this reference design can help you achieve high measurement accuracy and improve battery utilization to extend electric vehicles (EV).

onsemi's Light e-Mobility: e-Bikes, both power train and chargers, system solutions

Light e-mobility is becoming an important part of the total EV market growth. The product range in this segment is very wide and includes smaller vehicles such as e-Bikes, e-Scooters, e-Kickscooters, but also bigger implementations like e-Motorbikes. In overall, they represent a very effective way of personal transportation in both private and professional environments. Thanks to their high flexibility, lower cost than cars, easier manufacturability and simpler maintenance, Light e-Vehicles are rapidly making their way into Emerging countries, and growing in Western countries, where feature rich products are being developed and offered.

This session will focus on the Light e-mobility segment, with special attention to e-Bikes and will show full system solutions based on the onsemi intelligent power comprehensive portfolio, covering all related subsystems such as power train, ultra-high density (UHD) chargers, battery management, human machine interface (HMI) and connectivity.

onsemi’s discrete Si and SiC devices for OBC application & solutions for compact, modular and scalable EV chargers

The stringent emission regulations coupled with government sponsored subsidiaries is driving the growth of vehicle electrification at much faster pace than anticipated ever before. As a result, there is an increased demand for charging solutions, whether it will be Fast DC charge, wall hang inverters or On Board Chargers, with significant development work ongoing and, consequently we will see this market increasing well above the normal growth rates.

onsemi is already a trusted and valued partner for leading EV Charging providers due to its broad portfolio of AEC-Q101 qualified 1200V to 650V SiC MOSFETs, 1200V and 650V IGBTs, 650V Si SJ MOSFET, Si and SiC Power modules and Gate drivers, that offer best in class power density and cost to performance ratio.

onsemi relentlessly supports its customers to develop cost effective, compact, modular, and scalable EV charging solutions to help them meet their performance and efficiency budgets, backed by onsemi’s high quality standards and fully vertical supply chain

In this session you will learn more about how to solve the key challenges of charging solution development with onsemi’s complete ecosystem of broad product portfolio, and get introduced to our online knowledge centre where you can find more information about our system solutions, development tools and world class simulation models.
