Better driving range though energy management April 24, 2012
Up to 15 percent more kilometers per battery charge just by improving the energy management systems - this is the goal of a research project led by the Dresden Institute for Automotive Technology. The researchers expressly do not intend to modify or change the battery itself. Instead, intelligent networking of car and infrastructure as well as better management of the in-car energy sinks will be established to reach this goal.

Motor driver integrates LIN/PWM interface and controller supply
With the E523.01, Elmos presents an EC motor driver with all the functions required for the configuration of a complete, low-cost system. Apart from the high-performance bridge driver, for communication purposes the semiconductor features a LIN2.1 compatible interface as well as a PWM interface with data pre-processing.
Elmos equips signal readout chip with SENT interface
The E520.33 sensor signal readout IC has a SENT interface. According to chip vendor Elmos AG, this feature makes the device suited for next-generation automotive control units. The E520.33 is automotive qualified according to AEC-Q100 and supports almost any resistive sensor bridge circuit.
Elmos chipset implements automotive start-stop function
A chipset from semiconductor manufacturer Elmos AG helps automotive electronics designers to easily implement an automatic start-stop function for vehicles. With Elmos chips E981.01 and E910.28, the voltage supply of the automotive on-board system can be maintained when car and engine stop in front of a red light or while passengers are getting in or out. This not only saves fuel but also improves the CO2 balance of the vehicles.
Research project enhances robustness of electronic automotive components
Elmos FlexRay star coupler meets EPL V3.0 specs
With the E981.56, semiconductor vendor Elmos AG introduces the second generation of its series-produced active FlexRay star coupler. The device has been awarded the certification according to the updated FlexRay electrical physical layer (EPL) specification V3.0 - as the first such component worldwide, the vendor claims.
CAN controller enables partial CAN bus activation
In cars, CAN networks are ubiquitous. But not all functions require the attention of all control devices attached to the network. If only the devices actually involved in a specific operation are activated and all others remain in sleep mode, energy consumption can be reduced. Semiconductor manufacturer Elmos AG (Dortmund, Germany) has developed a chip that makes this possible.
Step-down converter features high efficiency at low load
For the supply of controllers in applications including gateways, body computer, sun top controllers or, in general, the supply of automotive logic units in general, Elmos Semiconductor AG has developed a step-down converter product family with very low input current. With the devices, the chip vendor also aims at industrial markets.
BLDC motor controller detects rotor position from zero to maximum rpm
Elmos Semiconductor AG (Dortmund, Germany) has launched the E981.15 motor controller IC which drives BLDC/PMSM motors without external sensors. According to the vendor, the VirtuHall sensorless commutation method implemented makes sure that the same motor characteristics are utilized for the detection of the rotor position under all operating conditions. Thus, switching between different detection methods is avoided and the risk of position loss and incorrect commutation is eliminated.
