Overview

Description

An inverter is used to convert DC power to the AC power used in an electric vehicle motor. The xEV inverter kit maximizes the HEV/EV motor performance by practical inverter hardware designs using a combination of microcontrollers, power management ICs, gate driver ICs, insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), and fast recovery diodes (FRD). Additionally, xEV Inverter Application Model & Software are also available.

xEV Inverter Application Model & Software
An xEV (Electric Vehicle) runs on a motor or combination of motor and internal combustion engine, and the motor is controlled by the xEV Inverter. The “xEV Inverter Application Model and Software” provides a sample application model and software to control the motor, reducing software development effort and time during product development using the xEV inverter kit.
