Microchip has mixed gate driver boards with its Hybrid Energy Drive (HPD) modules to ease the aviation trade’s transition to electrical actuation methods. Configured with silicon or silicon carbide switches, the HPD modules cowl a variety of 5 kVA to twenty kVA and keep the identical footprint whatever the energy output.
These built-in actuation energy bundles present a plug-and-play motor drive resolution for the electrification of such methods as flight controls, braking, and touchdown gear. Energy elements are designed to scale based mostly on software necessities. They can be utilized to create actuation methods for drones, small planes, electrical vertical take-off and touchdown plane, Extra Electrical Plane (MEA), and all-electric plane.
Gate driver boards are pushed with exterior PWM alerts. They supply differential outputs for telemetry alerts like DC bus present, part present, and solenoid present by taking suggestions from shunts within the HPD modules and DC bus voltage. The remoted boards function over a temperature vary of -55°C to +110°C and require a single 15-VDC enter for the management and drive circuit. Further required voltages may be generated on the cardboard.
The gate driver boards and accompanying HPD modules can be found now in manufacturing portions. To study extra about these built-in actuation energy elements, click on right here.
