Neutron taps Infineon for battery management platform
Neutron Controls, a preferred design house for Infineon Technologies in Canada, has developed a full hardware and software battery management system (BMS) for automotive designs.
The Neutron ECU8 system platform which enables accelerated development of BMS based on Infineon chipsets to reduce development effort by using the ASIL-D and ISO26262 compliant hardware and software.
The ECU8 energy control unit includes Neutron Control’s proprietary microcontroller module featuring the Aurix TC3xx and TC4xx, TLF35584 Hypersonic PMIC, TLE9015 ISO UART Transceiver, and TLE9012 ISO UART Battery Interface Card.
The ECU8 is the latest addition to Neutron Control’s Rapid Engineering Development (RED) platform family, a collection of versatile platforms designed to accelerate software development, prototyping, and product development.
The ECU8 platform is compatible with lithium-ion battery cells, monitoring up to 12 cells individually per module. By combining up to 20 modules, the platform supports up to 1000 V batteries. Available communication interfaces of the ECU8 include iso-UART and iso-SPI for Ring Mode, dual Ethernet ports and triple CAN-FD ports. It also provides high-side and low-side drivers for external contactors.
From the software perspective, low-level drivers are implemented for the various components for the AURIX TC3x TriCore architecture in the BMS where calculations for state-of-charge (SoC) and state-of-health (SoH) can be integrated.
