This course will provide an in-depth system analysis of High Voltage (HV) Electric. We review how the MCU, GDIC and IGBTs function individually and as a system. We will discuss EV and HEV power systems and components for achieving a highly efficient and safe HV motor drive. Using system block diagrams and oscilloscope screen shots of NXP’s new HV IGBT GDIC, the GD3100, and Fuji GEN 7 IGBT modules as we will consider how to achieve smaller, more efficient and lower cost HV inverter designs. We will review SPI interface programmability that enables any IGBT to be tuned for maximum efficiency, thermal design considerations, layout considerations, power budget assessment, power up sequencing, managing short circuit faults, temperature monitoring and advanced features achieve system ASIL level D and ISO26262 certification.
