Rutronik Elektronische Bauelemente GmbH announces the release of the Advanced Integrated Thermal Management System (Integrated Thermal Management System) development board, which uses a distributed control architecture and is easy to configure to provide solutions with high efficiency and flexibility. Mainly for electric vehicles and other applications, it can help customers realize the required integrated thermal management system.
With the continuous improvement of vehicle electrification, especially the higher requirements of electric vehicles in terms of performance, energy efficiency and comfort, the number of motors used in the system continues to increase, posing a huge challenge to thermal management. The traditional thermal management system has a large number of pipes and parts, poor environmental adaptability, low efficiency and intelligence, and poor flexibility and configurability. In order to meet these challenges, the concept of an integrated thermal management system has been widely accepted by the industry. This solution can effectively solve the pain points of traditional thermal management solutions through integrated design. Some manufacturers with strong R&D capabilities have developed their own integrated thermal management systems, which are widely adopted in applications such as electric vehicles, but many manufacturers still encounter various challenges in developing integrated thermal management systems .
CC Lim, Marketing Director of Rutronik Asia Pacific, said: "The rise of new energy vehicles has greatly increased the demand for motors, and an integrated thermal management system solution is the general trend, which can effectively integrate multiple motor control together, thereby Effectively reduce cable length, achieve integration and more efficient control. This time, in cooperation with Elmos, a leading semiconductor supplier to the automotive industry, this integrated thermal management system development board is designed to help customers achieve their needs at a lower cost. Configurable, highly flexible integrated thermal management system while accelerating time to market.”
Wang Lingjun, Sales Director of Elmos China, said: "We welcome Rutronik's E523 series from Elmos as the core component of this integrated thermal management system development board. The E523 series has a wide operating temperature range and meets the latest AEC certification standards. Ideal for automotive thermal management applications. We believe that, combined with Rutronik's innovative capabilities, this integrated thermal management system development board can provide customers with additional market advantages."
This development board adopts distributed control and can control up to 4 brushless DC (BLDC) motors at the same time. Since multiple small CPUs can be used to control related motors, more CPU models can be selected. Each chip integrates a CPU and a pre-driver, and only controls one motor, so chips can be added easily, software development is simpler, and it can also meet the needs of different numbers of motors.
