Electrification
Silicon Carbide (SiC) has emerged as a more efficient transistor in its ability to reduce weight and drive vehicle motors faster. Because SiC transistors must be driven even faster than previous generations, latency becomes increasingly important. The Zynq™ UltraScale+™ XA MPSoC platform contains optimized Programmable Logic (PL) hardware pipelines to provide the lowest latency, paired with a processing system that runs software to control the hardware pipelines and adapts them to the workloads.
AMD Focus Areas in Electrification:
Electric Vehicle Management ECU
- Vehicle dynamics and predictive maintenance can be accelerated using the low latency AI processing capabilities in the AMD Zynq™ 7000 XA and Zynq™ UltraScale+™ XA MPSoC platforms
- Flexible PL hardware pipelines can handle multiple protocols which must be processed simultaneously to handle complex vehicle communications and act in real time upon critical data
On-board Charger, Battery Management Systems and EV Motor Drive Control
- Increasing use of AI and hardware acceleration to drive model-based algorithms to adapt to the behavior of the underlying hardware in real time utilizing hardware accelerators tightly-coupled with application software
- The PL provides unique and flexible ways to reduce EMI and minimize losses and generate an IO map tuned to the specific platform
AMD Advantages in SiC-Based Motor Control:
Implement High-speed Inverter Motor Control Loops
- Ultra-fast control (ns) achieves higher switching frequencies
Implement Sub-control Loop Compensations
- Active current filtering for EMI reduction to minimize losses
Perform Precision Tuning at Individual IO Level
- Minimize jitter and provide overcurrent protection
Greater Flexibility to Optimize
- Implement real-time critical functions in flexible PL architecture
Secure Gateway
Fully autonomous vehicles including robotaxis and robotrucks require extremely reliable, high performance, power-efficient, adaptive computing. Adaptive XA SoCs provide the optimal balance of hardware accelerators tightly coupled with application software for integrated sensor data aggregation, compute acceleration, and scalar processing.
AMD Advantages in Secure Gateway:
- Ability to update hardware using over-the-air (OTA) capabilities, including safety algorithms for post-deployment breach mitigation
- Future proof for emerging security threats
- Evolve neural network implementations over time
- Anti-tamper
- Secure boot
- Encryption
- Authentication
- Virtually unlimited bus/protocols support
