Global semiconductor company Infineon Technologies has set a new standard for managing high-voltage batteries for next-generation electric vehicles (EVs).

Infineon announced on the 20th that it has launched the PSOC™ 4 HVPA-SPM 1.0, an advanced microcontroller for high-voltage battery management systems (BMS).

This new product combines precision, safety, and programming flexibility to support the transition to Zoned architecture and Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), setting a new standard for electric vehicle battery management technology.

PSOC™ 4 HVPA-SPM 1.0 monitors current, voltage, and temperature with high precision, significantly improving the accuracy of State-of-Charge (SoC) and State-of-Health (SoH) measurements.

It also fully complies with the ISO 26262 ASIL D safety standard, ensuring stable and robust operation in high-voltage battery systems.

The embedded Arm® Cortex®-M0+ processor provides advanced edge intelligence, accelerating data processing and reducing the load on the ECU (Central Electronic Control Unit).

This microcontroller allows OEMs to customize systems to their specific requirements, shortening development cycles.and reduce time to market.

This allows for more efficient management of in-vehicle electronic systems through a zone architecture-based design and accelerates the implementation of software-defined vehicles (SDVs).

In conjunction with this product launch, Infineon is partnering with Munich Electrification to provide Smart Edge BMS software.

This collaboration combines Infineon's semiconductor technology with Munich Electrification's software expertise to deliver cost-effective, high-performance battery management solutions.

This will enable OEMs to accelerate the transition to sustainable e-mobility while meeting regulatory requirements.

“The PSOC™ 4 HVPA-SPM 1.0 is an innovative solution that combines precision, intelligence and safety for next-generation EVs,” said Ralf Koedel, Vice President and General Manager of Infineon’s Automotive Microcontrollers business. “The positive feedback from our early customers demonstrates the value of this product in the e-mobility market.”
