With our latest Battery Monitoring System Chipset (BMS), NXP ensures a very accurate battery cell measurement with a direct impact on the range improvement of the vehicle. In a similar way, the innovative dynamic gate strength of our last generation of high voltage gate driver drastically impacts the traction inverter efficiency.

Thanks to a large portfolio (power management (PMIC), MCUs, analog front end (AFE), in-vehicle networking (IVN), gate driver (GD), sensors, among others) NXP brings innovation for each principal application of electric and hybrid vehicles. From the on-board charging (OBC) electronic control unit (ECU) to the battery monitoring system (BMS) through high-voltage (HV) DC/low-voltage (LV) DC system, NXP devices ensures an efficient energy conversion and storage. With our latest generation of MCU, SBC and HV GD, NXP is also playing a key role for the energy conversion to ensure the vehicle traction. Beyond devices, NXP is building systems that include an extended set of collaterals such as software and functional safety documents to ease and speed up our customer development.

Functional Safety is a strong asset of each NXP device. This is part of our DNA. Now, NXP is stepping up by providing a system safety concept. To ease our customers analysis and time to market, NXP delivers associated safety mechanisms and requirements (HW and SW level) handled by NXP devices in a system context. Reliability is also a key concern. As an user you expect the same level performance of your vehicle at T0 and End of Life (EoL). This is why we are designing and qualifying our devices to ensure high level of performance at EoL. For example, our BMS AFE has high EoL accuracy, including 5Sigma guaranteed value.

Innovation is the key to support compliance with global emissions regulations. Each innovation that we could bring in our device to ensure a more accurate measurement or a higher efficiency conversion has a direct impact on the range of the car. And by consequence, each miles/km saved extend the battery life.
