As the automotive industry rapidly evolves towards electrification and intelligence, the complexity and power requirements of vehicle electronic systems are increasing exponentially. Traditional DC-AC power supplies can no longer meet the harsh vehicle environment requirements.DC-AC Automotive grade power supply, as a core power conversion module specially designed and certified for automotive applications, it is responsible for converting the high-voltage direct current (such as 400V/800V) of the power battery into the stable and pure alternating current (such as 220V) required by various equipment. AC). It is the reliable power cornerstone for smart cockpit large-screen entertainment systems, car refrigerators, high-end audio, ADAS sensors and even drive motors. Its performance and reliability are directly related to vehicle safety and user experience.
1. The core difference between automotive grade and industrial grade: Why is it important to choose automotive grade?
Choosing a true car-grade DC-AC power supply means that your product has reached the top level of the industry in the following aspects:
Adaptability to extreme environments:It must be able to work stably in ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C (or even higher), and be able to withstand high humidity and salt spray erosion.
Excellent reliability and long life:followAEC-Q100It complies with the standards of the Automotive Electronics Council and uses automotive-grade components to ensure high reliability of the product under long-term vibration and impact. The mean time between failures (MTBF) far exceeds that of industrial-grade products.
Strict functional safety:supportISO 26262Functional safety standards can build a complete safety mechanism from detection to protection to prevent vehicle system risks caused by power failure, up to ASIL-D level.
Efficient electromagnetic compatibility (EMC):satisfyCISPR 25and other automotive electromagnetic compatibility standards to ensure that the power module will not interfere with sensitive radio reception and other control systems in the car, and at the same time, it can resist electromagnetic interference from the outside.
4. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the essential difference between car-grade DC-AC power supply and ordinary car inverter?
A:The essential difference is thatDesign standards, reliability, safety certification and life cycle. Ordinary inverters are aimed at the after-sales market and have loose standards; automotive grade power supplies strictly follow AEC-Q100 and ISO 26262 and other standards, it uses vehicle-standard components and undergoes rigorous environmental, life and reliability testing. The design life is synchronized with the entire vehicle (usually 10-15 years), and it has the ability to communicate with the entire vehicle network and provide functional safety.
Q2: What new challenges are posed to DC-AC power supplies in the 800V platform architecture?
A:The 800V platform mainly brings three major challenges: 1.electrical stress: It is necessary to choose power devices with higher voltage resistance (such as SiC MOSFET) to withstand higher operating voltage. 2.Insulation design: Requires stronger electrical isolation capability. 3.EMC/EMI: Higher dV/dt and di/dt put forward extreme requirements for electromagnetic compatibility design. ourV2L-2200andMTP-3000Models designed to meet these challenges.
Q3: How to realize the collaborative work of DC-AC power supply and vehicle control unit (VCU)?
A:passCAN or CAN FD communication bus. The power module reports status information such as input and output voltage/current, operating temperature, and fault codes in real time; the VCU can issue instructions, such as controlling the start and stop of the power supply, adjusting the output power limit, and executing predefined safety policies when a fault occurs.
Q4: How is functional safety (ISO 26262) reflected in DC-AC power supplies?
A:It runs through the entire process from chip selection to system design. For example: built-in redundant voltage/current/temperature sensors; the core processor has a lockstep core Core) for self-diagnosis; supports safety-related shutdown paths; can output fault status signals to the MCU. These designs ensure that the system can enter or maintain a safe state in the event of a single point failure.
Q5: What are the advantages of your products in terms of thermal management?
A:We useLow thermal resistance package design and efficient heat dissipation structure, and with advancedThermal simulation softwareCombined, heat flow paths are optimized during the design phase. At the same time, the built-in multi-point temperature monitoring and intelligent fan control strategy ensure that the module can control the core temperature within a safe range even in extreme environments.
2. Troubleshooting and Diagnosis Guide
When an abnormality occurs in the system, the following logic can be followed for preliminary diagnosis (assuming basic measurement tools and a CAN bus analyzer are available).
| Fault phenomenon | Possible reasons | Diagnosis steps and solutions |
|---|---|---|
| The module does not respond and communication is interrupted. | 1. Abnormal power supply 2. Wake-up signal is not activated 3. CAN cable failure | 1. Check whether the voltage and polarity of the input port are correct. 2. Check whether the module wake-up pin (if any) level meets the requirements. 3. Check the CAN_H/CAN_L cable connection, terminal resistance and voltage. |
| CAN bus reports "input undervoltage/overvoltage" fault | 1. External high voltage power supply fluctuations 2. Failure of the sampling circuit inside the module | 1. Check the working status of the vehicle battery management system (BMS) and the front-end DCDC. 2. Read the internal sampling value through the diagnostic command to calibrate or replace the module. |
| There is no AC power in the output, and an "over-temperature" fault is reported. | 1. The radiator air duct is blocked 2. Cooling fan failure 3. The load is too large or the ambient temperature is too high | 1. Clean the dust and debris on the radiator. 2. Check the fan power supply and drive signal, and replace the fan if necessary. 3. Verify whether the load power meets the specifications and improve the ventilation of the module installation environment. |
| The output AC power is unstable and THD exceeds the standard. | 1. The load type is nonlinear capacitive/inductive load 2. Output filter component parameter drift | 1. Use professional equipment to analyze the load characteristics to ensure that they are within the allowable range of the module. 2. Contact our technical support for internal diagnosis and maintenance. |
| The system reports an "insulation resistance" fault | 1. The insulation of the external load or connecting cable is damaged. 2. Internal insulation failure of the module | 1. Disconnect all connections now!Use a megger to measure the insulation resistance of the external circuit and load respectively. 2. If the external circuit is normal, the module may be damaged internally and needs to be returned to the factory for repair. |
Important safety tips: Operation of high-pressure systems must be performed by trained professionals. Before performing any measurement or maintenance, please ensure that the high-voltage power is completely disconnected and wait enough time for the bus capacitance to be discharged as specified.
