Understanding Motor Drivers Thermal Management

Many thermal metrics exist for integrated circuit packages, ranging from θJA to ΨJT. These figures are very handy to estimate the junction temperature (TJ) in steady state. Transient thermal impedance is a measure of how a device behaves when pulsed power is applied to it. In motor driver applications, it is important to determine the behavior of low duty cycle, low-frequency pulsed loads. Join MPS Sr. Technical Marketing Engineer Christophe Vaucourt for this webinar to learn about thermal transient behaviors, and the theory and measurement methods to estimate thermal impedance. This discussion will detail practical guidelines on how to maximize the power-handling capability of integrated circuits in pulsed power applications.

Maximizing Power Density of DC Fast Charging Systems with an LLC Power Supply

As the automotive industry has gone through an electric vehicle revolution, power electronics have become paramount in the design of onboard chargers, traction inverters, and even DC fast-charging stations. MPS has created innovative resonant power supply solutions for biasing SiC power devices, which have been critical in increasing the power density, efficiency, and range of electric vehicles. These solutions can switch at up to 5MHz to significantly reduce total solution size and component count. MPS has many isolated gate drivers and signal isolator solutions for AC grid to DC battery conversion.

Designing Cooler Running, Multi-Channel Dynamic Automotive Lights

With the rise of LED lighting technology in the automotive sector, yesterday’s bulky, single-function lights are being replaced with newer, sleeker designs that wrap around a car’s front, back, or sides. Tomorrow’s cars will include animated lights that will display sophisticated patterns to increase road safety, while decreasing power consumption and the size of the automotive lighting systems. However, designing these newer systems is not a trivial task.

System on Chip (SoC) Power Tree

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and infotainment system-on-chips (SoCs) are offering increasingly higher computing power, which in turn results in higher power demands. An SoC can require more than 10 different power rails, with currents ranging from hundreds of amperes (A) to a few mA. Crafting an optimal power tree for these applications is not a trivial task. Join MPS Application Engineer Francesc Estragués in this webinar on how to design an optimal power architecture for an automotive SoC.
