Components for comprehensive e-vehicle electronics

Emission-free mobility in the commercial vehicle market is no longer a distant utopia. Driven by increasing demand, stricter regulatory requirements and the pressure for technological solutions to halt climate change, OEMs also have to offer alternative drive systems such as electric commercial vehicles as quickly as possible. With our in-depth technological expertise in the field of e-mobility, we offer numerous components specifically for electric trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles.

Bi-Directional DC/DC Converter (12V/24V/48V) for Electric Commercial Vehicles

Introduction
Technical Specifications

The higher power demands for components embedded in modern commercial vehicles lead to new on-board network architectures consisting of various different board nets, making bi-directional DC/DC converters necessary to bridge these board nets. Their variable design allows power delivery of up to 3.5 kW in buck and 1 kW in boost mode and is an air-cooled, cost-efficient and reliable solution for transferring energy between board nets with state-of-the-art cyber security.

Thermal Input/Output ECU

Introduction
Technical Specifications

Like all EVs, electric commercial vehicles have high requirements when it comes to thermal management, e.g. active cooling and heating to keep the battery in the optimal range for maximum performance. The Thermal Input/Output ECU ensures sensor data availability by receiving and processing data from the connected sensors and actuators and providing output signals to other ECUs on the Auxiliary CAN. It also provides control interfaces to the connected sensors/ actuators via signal interfaces on the Auxiliary CAN. The Thermal Input/Output ECU acts as an intelligent gateway ECU and contains software to fulfill the standard diagnostic and network requirements to process signals and execute OEM in-house functions.

Technical Specifications of our Thermal Input/Output ECU

All electric long-haul truck (Tractor/ rigid)

CAN interface: CAN-FD

Operating temperature: -40 to+105 °C

IP Class: IP6K9K

ASIL: B

Electric Vehicle Charging Controller (EVCC)

Introduction
Technical Specifications

The Electric Vehicle Charging Controller (EVCC) is a generic 12 V/24 V unit for use in fully-electric light, medium and heavy trucks, solo and articulated buses. As main communication controller, it is the logic gateway between the EVSE1 and the vehicle to recharge the high-voltage battery, initiating and monitoring the charging process. It can handle all relevant charging standards depending on customer requirements:

AC/DC Charging (CCS13 & CCS2) for Europe (EU) & North America (NA).
MCS4 or separate pantograph charging capability
CHAdeMO5 2.0 / GB/T6 upon specific customer request

Technical Specifications of our Electric Vehicle Communication Controller

Up to ASIL-B hardware design possible
Connectors: HDSCS 2 x 18pins
Separate connectors to adapt the variants to the periphery
Separate foreseen Ethernet single PHY for MCS functionality
IFX Controller TC3xx, LQFP-176
Several IO hardware interfaces for infrastructure needed in markets in the EU, North America and Asia
Multiple CAN-FD interfaces plus a LED signal driver for inlet
Supports Wake-up CAN, Control Pilot (CP), Proximity Pilot (PP) and Charge-Stop Button
Supports LIN
Housing IP-Class up to IP6k9k
Mounting in cabin, on frame or on roof for busses
Multiple separate charging inlets (i.e.: left & right) supported by mounting multiple devices
