STMicroelectronics has announced a microcontroller for electric vehicle on-board chargers, particularly those using silicon carbide power components. “Typical automotive MCUs in the market today cannot execute the charging-control algorithms at a rate that can support the higher SiC switching frequencies,” claimed ST. “Instead, additional DSP chips are needed specifically to handle the control loop.” The ...
