Analog Devices’ Power Conversion Platform Improves Safety, Reliability and Efficiency in Renewable Energy Applications
11 May 2016 - 10:00PM
Business Wire
Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) today announced its fully integrated
power conversion platform for next-generation solar power, energy
storage, and electric vehicle infrastructure applications. The
platform, which includes processing, gate driving, and sensing
components, was designed to enable new faster-switching
architectures and accommodate increasing safety regulations. By
integrating ADI’s established iCoupler digital isolation technology
with the new, breakthrough mixed-signal processor design
(ADSP-CM41x), the platform simplifies system design for power
inverter manufacturers while also improving system safety and
reliability, and helping drive down the cost of renewable
energy.

Power systems must be carefully designed to protect the end user
from electric shock and the system from physical destruction by
isolating current measurement from the power-handling circuitry and
transient signals. Traditionally this protection has come at a
price as the use of multiple redundant isolated components drives
up both cost and system complexity. Analog Devices recently
announced the ADSP-CM41x processor series, which features a
revolutionary new design that integrates dual-core safety
redundancy into a single chip. The ADSP-CM41x is an integral part
of the power conversion platform, and is now the first and only
processor of its kind to be awarded a Certificate of Safety
Attestation, VDE-AR-N4105, from TUV-SUD. This provides designers
with added confidence in their own certification process and a
pathway to faster, more cost-efficient system development.
Also included in the platform are the AD740x sigma-delta-based
A/D converter, which replaces larger, more expensive sensor modules
to reduce system cost and improve isolated current measurement, and
the ADuM413x series of isolated gate drivers, featuring iCoupler®
digital isolation technology.
To assist developers in evaluating and designing with the
platform, Analog Devices also announced the release of a new
evaluation kit, the ADZS-CM419F-EZLITE. The kit is available now
for $410.00.
