The vehicle essentially matches the performance of the stock car on which it is based-including full interior space, range, and dynamic performance.

This is achieved by means of an integrated battery package, an air-cooled traction package, and industrial IGBT drives. The arrangement and package designs are discussed, with an emphasis on the electrical architecture and the power electronic drive trains.

These switches must withstand 10 kV module level electro-static discharge and 60 V alternator load dump. An automotive high side switch (HSS) must control negative inductive flyback voltages during normal operation and during loss of battery. To control high current loads in the automotive environment, an HSS must also be able to operate with an ambient temperature up to 125/spl deg/C. Motorola is in production with two dual output high side switches for the automotive industry. These high side switches provide real-time diagnostics while controlling up to four ampere loads at 105/spl deg/C. This paper discusses the features available in this family of HSS ICs and their operation in automotive modules. Features addressed include: input control, overvoltage detection and protection, output on and off open load detection, output short detection, power switching capability, output current limiting and shutdown, output thermal detection and shutdown, dynamic output clamping, and packaging options. Application advantages, performance, and cost trade-offs of each feature are addressed.","PeriodicalId":273843,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Power Electronics in Transportation","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126581323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the first time a charge-sheet approach has been successfully used in modeling a power MOSFET. The continuous nature of the charge-sheet model allows for the development of a continuous I-V model for the power MOSFET from subthreshold to saturation. The generalized form of the charge-sheet model enables the physical modeling of the nonuniform doping through the MOS channel region of the power MOSFET. A physical model of the power MOSFET drift region is combined with the channel model to give a complete physical system of equations which is solved numerically. The model includes detailed calculations of the drift region parameters including the variation of the internal depletion widths with external bias. The physical, continuous behavior of the model provides easy extraction of small signal parameters and interelectrode capacitances. Test measurements of real power MOSFETS are used as a comparison to support the model results.","PeriodicalId":273843,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Power Electronics in Transportation","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121541379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The capability of this architecture in meeting the needs of future electrical loads is questionable. Furthermore, with the development of electric vehicles (EVs) there is a greater need for a better architecture. In this paper we outline the limitations of the conventional architecture and identify alternatives. We also present a multi-attribute trade-off methodology which compares these alternatives, and identifies a set of Pareto optimal architectures. The system attributes traded off are cost, weight, losses and probability of failure. These are calculated by a computer program that has built-in component attribute models. System attributes of a few dozen architectures are also reported and the results analyzed.","PeriodicalId":273843,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Power Electronics in Transportation","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131916816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The utility of these programs can be extended to the analysis of complex nonlinear magnetic circuits by establishing analogous quantities as: voltage-magnetic potential, and current-magnetic flux. The essence of magnetic circuit analysis is to model each arm of the magnetic structure by a series connection of dependent voltage generators that represent developed and opposing magnetic potentials in the arm and a dependent current generator that represents the flux through the arm with the voltage across the current generator being the magnetic potential required by the reluctance of the arm. A simple inductor with DC bias and an air gap (Hanna inductor) is examined to bring out details of the analysis procedure.","PeriodicalId":273843,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Power Electronics in Transportation","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127722910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
