Powertrain & EV Charging

Optimizing Automotive Powertrain Designs

At Microsemi, we’re focused on delivering the right combination of performance, durability, reliability and quality to help you optimize your most demanding designs. Undoubtedly, in next-generation electric vehicles (EVs), power and efficiency are critical. This is especially true as the number of engine control units (ECUs) within the car grows exponentially. Predictability and isolation of safety-critical functions becomes increasingly complex, particularly when aggregating several functions onto fewer nodes. These factors drive the need for reprogrammable computational capabilities, along with sensor and power management solutions to optimize system efficiency.

Microsemi’s automotive sensor interface microcontroller portfolio can be used flexibly as position, rotary and angular sensors. The inductive sensor ICs can also be applied as linear variable differential transformer (LVDTs) to measure linear motion or displacement (position).

Microsemi’s portfolio for automotive powertrain and EV charging applications includes:

• Sensor interface ICs targeted at a variety of automotive sub-systems such as engine, pedals, steering wheel and gearbox.
• Power management devices for EV power train and charging.
• Automotive-grade FPGAs & SoCs for reprogrammable compute abilities within EV powertrains.

Microsemi is a long-time supplier of high-reliability, high-performance solutions in the aerospace, communications, defense/security and industrial markets. We are uniquely able to leverage our rich DNA to transition our technology and expertise to meet the demanding requirements of the automotive design community.
