Infineon and Typhoon HIL collaborate to accelerate EV power electronic systems development

German semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies is collaborating with Typhoon HIL, a provider of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation solutions, to provide automotive engineering teams with a fully integrated, real-time development and test environment for key elements of EV powertrain systems.

Customers working with Infineon’s AURIX TC3x/TC4x automotive microcontrollers (MCUs) can now use a complete HIL simulation and test solution using Typhoon’s HIL simulator for ultra-high fidelity motor drive, on-board charger, BMS and power electronics emulation, which provides a plug-and-play interface via the Infineon TriBoard Interface Card. 

The offering includes several Typhoon HIL Simulators for real-time digital testing, a suite of testbed hardware and software tools and the Infineon TriBoard Interface Card, which supports Infineon AURIX TC3xx and TC4xx evaluation boards and plugs directly into a single row of DIN41612 connectors on the front panel of the HIL Simulator.

This streamlines validation workflows, expedites design and testing processes and reduces development costs and complexity for customers. Typhoon HIL also offers an Automotive Communication Extender product for its HIL Simulator solution based on an AURIX TC3xx processor, which will provide an enhanced communication interface that allows customers to connect to a larger number of heterogenous ECUs under test via CAN, CAN FD, LIN and SPI protocols.

“Developers of EV components including motor drives, battery management systems, on-board chargers, and DC-DC converters increasingly rely on Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop (C-HIL), on top of Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and simulation-based approaches, to quickly achieve results and more rapidly iterate in both prototyping and test cycles,” said Christopher Thibeault, Director of Partnership & Ecosystem Management Automotive Americas at Infineon Technologies. “Our AURIX customers can access a design and test environment that will help bring their automotive solutions based on dependable electronics to market faster.”
