Understanding functional safety for gate drivers and traction inverter systems
As the demand for smart, automated and eco-friendly end-equipment continues to grow, industrial and automotive technologies are becoming increasingly electrified. With this trend also comes an increased emphasis on ensuring electronic systems not only meet standards of EV performance but safety standards as well.
Improving safety in EV traction inverter systems
Electric-vehicle designers can increase the safety and reliability of traction inverter systems by monitoring the gate voltage threshold. When a consumer purchases a vehicle, they assume that the design engineers did their due diligence to create a safe product. In order to achieve a necessary level of safety, especially in regard to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 26262 standards, subsystems within a vehicle such as the tra...
