Drivetrain Efficiency Optimization

Adjustable switching frequency enables optimization of the complete drivetrain, reducing the combined losses of the inverter and motor.

Advanced FOC Control

Sensorless and Hall-based FOC with field weakening and configurable switching frequency up to 30 kHz.

Vehicle Integration

Dual CAN connectivity with configurable CAN speed, 9–36 V auxiliary supply and integrated motor temperature sensing.

Protections

Independent hardware and software protection layers rapidly shut down the inverter during overcurrent, overvoltage and thermal events, helping prevent catastrophic power-stage failure.
