Looking at the latest car models, so
many are now toted as electric vehicles (xEVs) boasting the larger ranges than other
combustion engine counterparts. As technology continues to progress, xEVs continue
to be more accessible to more and more people. When purchasing a new xEV, there are
some qualities the xEV need to have:
- Reliability: Whether it be
a quick trip to the grocery store or a long road trip, having a vehicle that is
dependable is an absolute must. TI’s gate drivers have high VDD options and
negative voltage handling contributing to robustness and reliability. This is
all backed by TI's customer support to fully maximize these robustness
features.
- Affordability: Buying any
vehicle, especially xEVs, can be a barrier to entry. TI’s gate drivers not only
bring high performance in a cost-optimized device, but also can contain useful
features that can reduce bill of material (BoM) cost and size.
- Power-Density: xEVs are
powerful machines, but too big and they can become harder to operation. TI’s
gate drivers pack high drive current in small packages, allowing for efficiency
and high-performance that does not need to take up excessive space.
