Every EV traction inverter requires a DC link active discharge as a safety-critical function. The discharge circuit is required to discharge the energy in the DC link capacitor under the following conditions and requirements: Power transistor on, off control using the TPSI3050-Q1.
The DC-DC converter uses peak current mode control (PCMC) techniques with a phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) topology and synchronous rectification (SR) scheme. The traction inverter stage uses a silicon carbide (SiC) power stage, driven by the UCC5870-Q1 smart gate device.
To control the voltage so that the voltage does not exceed 50 V (touch safe), the auxiliary power supply has to turn on and power up safety-relevant circuits that can discharge the DC link caps (active discharge) or actively short circuit the motor. Every EV traction inverter requires a DC link active discharge as a safety-critical function.
Abstract: when an Electrical Vehicle (EV) encounters an accident or the vehicle is taken to a service station, the DC-link capacitor in the inverter must be discharged to ensure safety of both the passengers and the operator.
