Infineon Technologies has announced that it’s collaborating with Typhoon HIL, a provider of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation solutions, to provide automotive engineering teams with a fully integrated, real-time development and test environment for key elements of xEV powertrain systems.
Customers working with Infineon’s AURIXTM TC3x/TC4x automotive microcontrollers (MCUs) can now use a comprehensive HIL simulation and test solution, featuring Typhoon’s HIL simulator, for ultra-high-fidelity emulation of motor drives, onboard chargers, battery management systems (BMS), and power electronics.
The new solution provides a plug-and-play interface via the Infineon TriBoard Interface Card. It also includes several Typhoon HIL Simulators for real-time digital testing, a suite of testbed hardware and software tools, and the Infineon TriBoard Interface Card.
Additionally, it supports Infineon AURIX TC3xx and TC4xx evaluation boards, plugging directly into a single row of DIN41612 connectors on the front panel of the HIL Simulator. The solution streamlines validation workflows, expedites design and testing processes, and reduces development costs and complexity for customers.
Typhoon HIL also offers an “Automotive Communication Extender” product for its HIL Simulator solution based on an AURIX TC3xx processor, which will provide an enhanced communication interface that allows customers to connect to a larger number of heterogenous ECUs under test via CAN, CAN FD, LIN, and SPI protocols.
