Starter & generator

Block diagram

Overview

Our integrated circuits and reference designs allow you to create starter and generator designs that efficiently convert DC power to alternating phases of power to drive multi-phase motors.

Design requirements

Starter and generator designs require:

  • Safely and efficiently control and protect the power switch (IGBT/SiC).
  • Position sensing of the motor shaft (resolver replacement).
  • Following state-of-the-art architecture regarding system redundancy in order to allow implementation of the system on the highest safety level.
  • Block diagram
