Infineon's 3rd Generation Embedded Power ICs, based on ARM® Cortex®-M cores, offer unparalleled integration of sensing, control, and actuation functions. This technology is perfectly suited for smart 3-Phase Brushless DC motor control applications, such as fuel pumps, HVAC fans, engine cooling fans, and electrical water pumps. By leveraging Infineon’s automotive-qualified 130nm Smart Power technology, these system-on-chip (SoC) solutions ensure best-in-class performance and reliability.
Safety and security
In addition to performance and efficiency, safety and security are paramount in today's automotive applications. Infineon’s Embedded Power ICs comply with ASIL-B (Automotive Safety Integrity Level B) standards, ensuring that safety-critical functions a carefully addressed. These ICs also support advanced cybersecurity features such as AES encryption and secure contact isolation to protect against unauthorized access and ensure reliable operation in secure environments. This dual focus on safety and security makes Infineon's solutions ideal for today's automotive applications that demand high functional safety standards.
Trends in the automotive industry benefiting from embedded power solutions
Reducing CO2 emissions
The push for carbon net-zero emissions is driving significant changes in the automotive sector. Energy efficiency is key to reducing CO2 emissions. Infineon Embedded Power ICs meet this need by enabling power on demand, where the output of electric motors can be adjusted based on application requirements, utilizing advanced pulse width modulation and control schemes.
Mechatronic integration: Compact and efficient motor control
Modern vehicles require numerous small motors distributed throughout the vehicle. Infineon's Embedded Power ICs support this trend by integrating multiple system functions into a single chip. This integration scales down electric control units (ECUs) while maintaining superior motor control, achieving compact and efficient control over various parameters.
Transition to brushless DC motors: Higher efficiency and reliability
The shift from brushed DC motors to brushless DC motors is driven by the need for higher power density, which saves weight and increases efficiency and reliability. Infineon's Embedded Power ICs support this transition by providing high-performance motor controllers capable of executing complex control algorithms, ensuring enhanced motor performance.
The TLE98xx family
The TLE98xx family is a series of System Basis Chips (SBC) characterized by high performance, low power consumption and robustness. They are designed for a wide range of microcontrollers. The TLE989x offers even higher performance, improved power management and advanced features for automotive and industrial applications. In addition, the TLE989x offers more features such as enhanced peripherals, higher resolution analog-to-digital converters and improved communication interfaces.
