Smart Chip-set Solutions for Tomorrow’s Power Distribution

Intro - LC

Automotive megatrends like the Software-Defined Vehicle, Electro-Mobility and ADAS / Automated Drive have significant impact on the evolution of the vehicle power distribution system. 

These trends are transforming the in-vehicle network to a zonal architecture, providing an infrastructure that can be used for electrification of the secondary power distribution system and helping to reduce the complexity of the wire harness.  New functional safety requirements - including the mandatory introduction of safety elements for available / fail-operational systems - are creating new power distribution functions and requirements in the process.

To address these new challenges and requirements, power distribution is moving from a centralized to decentralized architecture.

TRAVEO™ T2G

Microcontrollers
Infineon TRAVEO™ T2G MCUs
The Infineon TRAVEO™ T2G MCUs are based on the Arm® Cortex®-M4(Single core)/M7(Single core/Dual core) core and deliver high performance, enhanced human-machine interfaces, high-security and advanced networking protocols tailored for a broad range of automotive applications such as electrification, body control modules, gateway, and infotainment applications.

Power PROFET™ + 12/24/48V

Automotive Smart High-Side Switches
Power PROFET™ + 12/24/48V
Power PROFET™ are single channel smart high Side Power Switches especially designed to drive high current loads up to 65 A in the automotive environment where high energy capability is required. The ability to drive high current loads makes Power PROFET™ very well adapted to replace electromechanical relays, fuses, and discrete circuits in power distribution and other applications in a 12 / 24 / 48 V board net.

PROFET™ Load
Guard 12V

Automotive High-Side Switches
PROFET™ Load Guard 12V
The PROFET™ Load Guard portfolio is characterized by the highest design flexibility due to adjustable overcurrent limitation of each device according to load requirements. This minimizes design-in efforts by setting up only one design as the current limit can be adapted on demand if load-driving requirements change.

PROFET™ Wire Guard 12V

Automotive High-Side Switches
PROFET™ Wire Guard 12V
PROFET™ Wire Guard's integrated I²t wire protection and low-power IDLE mode form an automotive smart high-side switch for wire protection in modern power distribution. In combination with the adjustable overcurrent protection for fast failure isolation and sequential diagnosis, the PROFET™ Wire Guard forms Infineon's eFuse solution for dependable power. The ISO26262-compliant development enables usage in functional safety-related applications.

EiceDRIVER™ APD High-side

Gate Driver ICs
EiceDRIVER™ APD High-side
EiceDRIVER™ APD gate driver ICs are replacing relays and fuses in the primary or secondary power distribution or they can be used as a battery protection switch in low voltage (H)EV battery management systems (BMS). Replacing relays and standard melting fuses with semiconductors in this way increases reliability thanks to fast failure isolation in less than 100 µs, additional diagnostics and enhanced protection features, for example integrated wire protection.
