eBook offers insights into design challenges for vehicle electrification

Mouser has launched a new eBook in collaboration with NXP Semiconductors about pushing boundaries in the automotive, industrial and IoT, mobile, and communication infrastructure markets while providing solutions that advance a more sustainable future. In this eBook, the companies explore design challenges in vehicle electrification systems, with insights into potential pathways for solutions.

In '7 Experts on Designing Vehicle Electrification Solutions', subject matter experts from across the EV industry and NXP present their perspectives on how they are addressing challenges surrounding data-driven optimisation, safety, EV charging and efficiency to assist manufacturers bring innovation to the EV market in record time. Modern EVs with ADAS feature dozens of integrated sensor systems that work together to attain higher performance and improve driver safety. These sensors also gather actionable data regarding the EV subsystems, including motor and battery performance, and most importantly, supply a wealth of data-driven information to enable system optimisation while refining EV design decisions into the future.

The eBook explores how the companies deliver data-driven technology solutions to the EV market's specific challenges, like charging compatibility, battery lifespan, capacity, navigation and safety, and emerging innovations to enhance EV efficiency and design. Of course, safety is the paramount consideration in vehicle electrification design. NXP delivers a suite of analogue sensing hardware solutions to help acquire vehicle data and offers a mixture of low-power, scalable, functional, and safe microcontrollers for streamlining secure communications and improving performance.

The eBook includes product information on the latest related NXP solutions, such as its S32K3 microcontrollers, a family of scalable 32-bit Arm Cortex-M7-based MCUs in single, dual and Lockstep core configurations supporting up to ASIL D level safety. Also featured are its GD316x family of ASIL D compliant, high voltage isolated gate drivers that offer efficiency-enhancing features such as dynamic gate strength control and segmented drive. The advanced, functionally safe HV gate drivers GD3162 and GD3160 supply a high level of integration, permitting a smaller footprint and simplified design for xEV traction inverters.
