LX34070 for EV motor control

Microchip builds inductive position sensors for EV motor control applications

Extending the world’s broadest line of inductive position sensors into the EV motor control market, Microchip Technology Inc (Nasdaq: MCHP) announces the LX34070 IC that has been purpose-built for EV motor control applications.

It includes differential outputs, fast sample rates and features that make it functional-safety-ready for ISO 26262 compliance in the Automotive Safety Integrity Levelā€“C (ASILā€“C) classification.

Developers of motor control systems are rapidly replacing Hall Effect position sensors and older magnetic resolver solutions with inductive alternatives that eliminate expensive magnets and other heavy transformer-based structures so they can be integrated onto simple, compact printed circuit boards (PCBs).

“The LX34070 inductive position sensor enables lighter, smaller, more reliable motor control solutions that meet stringent safety requirements, reduce overall system costs, and can operate seamlessly and precisely in the noisy environment of an automobile’s DC motors, high currents and solenoids,” said Fanie Duvenhage, vice president of Microchip’s mixed signal and linear analogue business unit.

“Designers can use the LX34070 to further streamline EV motor control designs by pairing it with other functional-safety-ready Microchip devices including our 8-bit AVRĀ® and PICĀ® microcontrollers, our 32-bit microcontrollers, and our dsPICĀ® digital signal controllers.”

LX34070 for EV motor control

The LX34070 inductive position sensor solution offers numerous advantages compared to magnetic resolvers and Linear Voltage Differential Transducers (LVDTs), at a fraction of the cost. By using PCB traces rather than transformer-based magnetic windings and coil structures, the LX34070 device has negligible size and mass compared to alternatives that weigh as much as a pound.

Accuracy is improved since the LX34070 does not depend on magnet strength, and the device improves robustness by actively rejecting stray magnetic fields. These and other features give designers greater flexibility over where they can place the thin, lightweight PCB-based LX34070 solution in their EV motor control designs.

PCB-based inductive position sensors use a primary coil to generate an AC magnetic field that couples with two secondary coils. A small metal target object disturbs the magnetic field so that each secondary coil receives a different voltage whose ratio is used to calculate absolute position.

Using these techniques, Microchip introduced its first high-volume inductive sensor for automotive and industrial applications over a decade ago and has many programmes in volume production.

The LX34070 now brings the same proven PCB materials, approaches and simplified, low-cost packaging to EV motor control and other applications that need its high-speed and low-latency benefits.

Supporting designers through ISO 26262 certification

Microchip works closely with automotive OEMs and suppliers to support their ISO 26262 compliance needs.

The company’s functional safety packages give them what they need at various stages of the evaluation and design cycle, including certified safety manuals, Failure Mode Effect and Diagnostics Analysis (FMEDA) reports and, in some cases, diagnostic software such as certified self-test libraries for relevant ASILs.

The company also practices customer-driven obsolescence, with Microchip continuing to supply devices as long as there is demand and all components are available, removing the risk of a forced redesign because a part may unexpectedly enter end-of-life (EOL).
