Accelerated Development of AURIX Motor Drive and xEV Powertrain through High-Fidelity Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulator
In the ever-evolving world of electric vehicle (xEV) technology, a groundbreaking partnership between Infineon and Typhoon HIL is making waves. This collaboration offers a powerful platform for real-time validation, accelerated design iteration, and extensive testing of electrified vehicle powertrain components.
The cornerstone of this partnership is the integration of Typhoon's hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulator with Infineon's AURIX TC3x/TC4x automotive microcontrollers (MCUs). This integrated solution provides significant benefits for developing and testing xEV powertrain systems.
Accelerated development and testing workflows are at the heart of this partnership. By allowing designers to verify and validate control algorithms and hardware behavior in a real-time environment before physical prototyping, development cycles are reduced, and time to market for automotive powertrain components is expedited.
High fidelity and real-time emulation of complex xEV powertrain subsystems are ensured by Infineon’s AURIX TC3x/TC4x MCUs. This guarantees an accurate representation of system dynamics, faults, and communication interfaces, leading to more reliable and efficient powertrain systems.
Streamlined validation workflows are achieved through the use of Typhoon’s HIL simulator paired with Infineon’s evaluation boards and a dedicated TriBoard Interface Card. This combination supports efficient integration and testing of AURIX-based controllers, further expediting the development process.
Enhanced communication capabilities are provided via Typhoon’s Automotive Communication Extender, which allows testing with multiple heterogeneous electronic control units (ECUs) over common automotive protocols such as CAN, CAN FD, LIN, and SPI. This reflects realistic in-vehicle network conditions, ensuring that the developed systems are ready for real-world applications.
The solution also includes comprehensive testbed hardware and software tools that support a broad range of xEV powertrain components, including motor drives, chargers, and battery management systems (BMS) units. This enables developers to address early design issues, validate control schemes, and ensure system robustness before deployment.
In addition to this partnership, Phoenix Contact introduces GameChangers for Harsh Environments, a line of Single Pair Ethernet connectors designed for Industrial IoT applications. These connectors provide robust wire-to-board connections, ensuring reliable data transmission even in challenging environments.
