As EV/HEV adoption continues to grow, lowering vehicle cost by optimizing EV efficiency remains a key priority for automakers. The traction inverter is the most impactful area for optimization.

TI's Optimal Pulse Positioning (OPP) design introduces a new modulation technique that dynamically minimizes inverter switching and motor harmonic losses. While initial test results are promising, enabling more than $100 in savings for a single battery pack, TI’s OPP solution continues to refine with more features and capability to improve ease of use and efficiency. Enabled by the high-performance F29x MCU and its differentiated features, OPP can deliver meaningful system-level benefits including reduced battery size and/or longer drive range. For automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers seeking to maximize EV efficiency, TI's OPP solution represents a compelling next step in traction inverter innovation
