EiceDRIVER™ APD Gate Driver | Automotive Power Distribution
Smart high-side gate driver ICs for 12 V/ 24 V / 48 V automotive high current applications
Power distribution is the controlled transport of energy via the Power Distribution System (PDS) from the sources to all kinds of loads in the electric vehicle. It’s built on three main elements - the primary power distribution, the secondary power distribution and the Electronic Control Units (ECUs).
EiceDRIVER™ APD Gate Driver ICs are replacing relays and fuses in the primary power distribution (close to the source), or in the secondary power distribution or they can be used as a battery protection switch in low voltage hybrid / electric battery management systems (BMS). Replacing relays and standard melting fuses with semiconductors in this way increases the Power Distribution System reliability thanks to fast failure isolation in less than 100 µs, additional diagnostics and enhanced protection features, for example integrated wire protection.
With Infineon’s EiceDRIVER™ APD gate drivers ICs designers are well prepared for the todays and upcoming challenges of the automotive electronic/electrical (E/E) architectures which demand components that meet the requirements for PRO-SIL™ ISO 26262-compliant and PRO-SIL™ ISO 26262-ready classifications for today’s safety-relevant systems and future fail-operational systems.
In addition to the Gate Driver IC's for automotive power distribution Infineon is offering the Smart Power Switches & Gate Driver Tool Suite to simplify the design in process. Infineon Smart Power Switches & Gate Driver Tool Suite supports system architects and hardware designers from the idea to the realization.
