5 Conclusion

There are many factors which influence traction inverter efficiency. MCU, gate drivers, sensors and control algorithms are some of them. This paper shows the influence that inverter efficiency can make on the electrical vehicle. The high-power test results of the TIDM-02014 reference design shows that, when using the adjustable gate driver strength during the CLTC-P driving cycle with specific vehicle model, traction inverter power consumption can be decreased by 2%. Having a different type of vehicle and style of driving can require more or less power and therefore have a different effect on efficiency improvement.
