Railway electric propulsion

Railway electric propulsion systems integrated circuits and reference designs

Description

Our integrated circuits and reference designs for railway electric propulsion systems help you create high-performance traction inverters with accurate control, multi-protocol train communication interfaces, robust isolation and EMC immunity for high reliability.

Railway electric propulsion systems often require:

Robust, isolated IGBT/SiC field-effect transistor gate drives with integrated protection and high CMTI.
High-performance, real-time processing for accurate torque control.
Robust train communication networks for highly-reliable interconnect.
High-efficiency power management solutions with strict regulation.
