PRODUCT BRIEFS

Test-based engineering

Embedded motor controllers

Simcenter Testlab software
from Siemens Digital
Industries Software (Plano,
Texas) is part of the
Simcenter portfolio of simulation and test solutions
within the Siemens
Xcelerator portfolio of integrated software and services. The latest release includes updates to Simcenter Testlab Neo, enhanced model-based systems testing, introduces a new technology for accelerating
structural dynamics called digital image correlation and frontloads analysis of full vehicle noise, vibration and harshness
(NVH) during the design process. Test and simulation engineers as well as test campaign managers can benefit from
this latest release for multi-disciplinary test-based performance engineering, specifically designed to offer test and
simulation teams new capabilities to innovate smart products
more productively. In Simcenter Testlab, test engineers have
access to new technologies that can increase productivity
when collecting and processing data.

TDK Corp. (Tokyo, Japan)
has expanded its Micronas
embedded motor controller portfolio to address
higher temperature applications. The HVC 4222F
and HVC 4422F were developed for operating
smart actuators in applications with ambient temperature
requirements up to 150°C (302°F). HVC 4222F offers 32k
flash memory while the HVC 4422F comes with 64k flash for
more complex software implementations. These high temperature devices target applications in combustion vehicle
drivetrains, and emerging thermal management systems in
electric and hybrid vehicles. The new high temperature devices are part of the automotive-grade, motor controller family for LIN bus connected actuators. The HVC 4xxxF family
integrates an Arm standard microprocessor with six independent 500 mA half-bridge drivers and a wide range of additional functions to enable compact and cost-efficient motorcontrol applications.
