Solving Key Challenges in EV Charging with Microchip Technology
Learn more about the key benefits of our Electric Vehicle (EV) charger solutions.
Accelerating EV Charging Solutions with Microchip Technology
As electric vehicle (EV) adoption grows globally, the demand for efficient, reliable and secure EV charging infrastructure rises. Microchip Technology addresses these needs by offering advanced solutions that help developers overcome key challenges in the EV charging landscape. Here’s a breakdown of the essential areas where we are making a difference in EV charging.
Reliable Charging for All Conditions
Charging systems must be durable and resilient, especially in high-power, high-use public stations. Our mSiC™ devices, built on Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology, ensure reliable, high-power output, even in harsh outdoor conditions, making them ideal for high-power Level 3 chargers used in heavy-duty vehicles and commercial applications. The benefits of these devices include smaller components, efficient cooling and a cost-effective, compact design.
User-Friendly and Secure Interfaces
Touchscreens are increasingly popular in public charging stations, but they must withstand various weather conditions and usage scenarios. Our maXTouch® controllers feature moisture-resistant algorithms, support for glove use and robust security measures to protect payment transactions. These controllers offer a secure, user-friendly experience, reducing costs by eliminating the need for extra security hardware.
Enhanced Security for Digital Payments
Given the digital nature of EV charging payments, robust cybersecurity is essential. We provide advanced hardware-based encryption, secure boot and authentication protocols to safeguard EV charging systems. These features protect user data and ensure reliable communication between chargers and charging management systems.
Interoperability for a Seamless Charging Experience
With diverse global standards like OCPP and ISO 15118, interoperability is crucial. Our reference designs ensure compatibility across different standards and protocols, making EV chargers versatile and user-friendly across regions. Compliance with standards like MID (EMEA), NIST (Americas) and State Grid (China) is integrated into their solutions.
Scalable Solutions for Diverse Charging Needs
Our scalable designs support applications from single-phase residential chargers to three-phase public fast chargers. Manufacturers can customize these systems with various performance levels, enabling faster development and compatibility with standards like CAN, Ethernet and USB. Our Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) add efficiency with precise digital control and real-time monitoring.
