Mitsubishi Motors will not emit carbon dioxide from the car the ultimate eco-car. use i-MiEV electric car full of electric energy in the case of full range of electrical drive 160 km (1), and to provide the charging system of three drivers can use 100V or 200V at home recharge the battery voltage can also be outside the charging station for quick loading. i-MiEV electric vehicles won several prizes, including cars from Japan’s 2009-2010 Year Award by the supervisory board, “the most technologically advanced” award, the Japanese trade non-profit – Automatic vehicle Palace Award the “2009 Automotive Technology” Award. i-MiEV electric car will be officially launched in Japan in 2010. “Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in the design of electric vehicles, demonstrating excellent leadership and innovation, we are pleased they have chosen in the i-MiEV in iCoupler digital isolation technology. ” Vice President of ADI ThomasWessel car, “said hybrid / electric insulation technology car battery technological advances have simultaneously monitoring requirements, such as greater integration, resistance to temperature change, and no interface external signal conditioning. ADI digital isolation technology to effectively meet these strict requirements. “ADI digital isolators ADuM1402W ADuM1201WiCoupler and can be used to achieve high voltage across the system lithium-ion battery and the standard car electronics Insulation barrier between the security system to transmit data. iCoupler insulators can satisfy other requirements, such as small size, low power consumption and extend battery life to cars longer distances and long life of the cruise. The signal data at the same rate, iCoupler products, energy consumption is one tenth to sixth optocoupler (for example, 3V Supply, 0Mbps conditions to 2Mbps, the maximum current per channel 0. 8mA). iCoupler digital isolators with the industry standard, RoHS small SOIC (small outline integrated circuit) package. iCoupler current technology, there are over 300 million separate channels using the technology of the ADI iCoupler owners. With traditional optocoupler LEDs and photodiodes used in different, this technology is based on the chip-scale transformer to withstand higher data rates and low power consumption, more stable performance. By using wafer-level processors manufacturing process, iCoupler channels cost of integration with others and integrate with other functions of semiconductors. iCoupler transformers and gold-plated by the metal layer CMOS planar structure. gold layer in the bottom of the high breakdown voltage of the polyimide layer on top and bottom of coils of transformers to isolate the coil. Link to the coil at the top and bottom of the coil of CMOS circuits used to provide the signal from each transformer and its external interface between the two. After the automotive version AEC-Q100 standard working conditions required 125 attestations. For different vehicles with the car becomes more complex, and highly dependent on electronic systems, a growing number of automotive design using signal processing techniques to provide enhanced security, performance, ride comfort, and become more environmentally friendly. Combining 40 years of experience in signal processing and leading portfolio of designing reliable circuits, ADI has become the preferred global semiconductor design engineers cooperation partners, and with them to meet the security features more advanced, entertainment, power and body systems Car electronics in the signal chain, the most difficult requirements.
