The ACEPACK DRIVE is a compact sixpack module optimized for hybrid and electric vehicles traction inverter. This power module features switches based on silicon carbide Power MOSFET 3rdgeneration, are characterized by very low RDS(on), very limited switching losses and outstanding performances in synchronous rectification working mode. This will ensure superb efficiency in final application, saving battery recharging cycles. A copper base plate with pin-fin base structure make direct fluid cooling available for this power module minimizing thermal resistance. A dedicated pin-out has been developed to get the best switching performances and press-fit pins will ensure optimal connection with driving board.

The AEK-AUD-C1D9031 is a very compact AVAS solution based on SPC582B60E1 Chorus family MCU and FDA903D Class D audio amplifiers that emits warning sounds to alert pedestrians of the presence of e-vehicles. The AEK-AUD-C1D9031 integrates two audio amplifiers in stereo mode or two separate audio channels. The board compact size allows the designer to strategically place different modules around the vehicle to ensure that warning sounds can be heard along the entire vehicle length. All the modules can be controlled by a central MCU via CAN interface. The embedded SPC582B60E1 microcontroller monitors and controls the two Class-D FDA903D power amplifiers driving the loudspeakers; the MCU sends the audio samples via I2S bus and programs the amplifiers via I2C interface.

The AEK-COM-GNSST31 evaluation board is based on the certified Teseo-LIV3F global navigation satellite system (GNSS) module with embedded TeseoIII single die standalone positioning receiver IC. The tiny, affordable, and easy-to use module guarantees superior accuracy and reduced time to first fix (TTFF) thanks to the on-board 26 MHz temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and dedicated 32 KHz real-time clock (RTC) oscillator. The evaluation package is used in conjunction with the X-CUBE-GNSS1 firmware to provide the necessary acquisition, tracking, navigation and data output functionality without external memory support. The AEK-COM-GNSST31 evaluation board can be readily connected with an SPC5 MCU for automotive application development as part of the AutoDevKit™ initiative.

The AEK-COM-ISOSPI1 is a SPI to isolated SPI dongle, which allows converting SPI signals in isolated SPI signals, thereby reducing the number of necessary wires from 4 to 2. The ISOSPI protocol features differential communication to ensure higher noise immunity and robustness for long distance communications. As the ISOSPI signals can travel for several meters, this protocol is particularly suitable for automotive high voltage applications where electrical isolation is required by the safety standards and the cable length can affect the communication among devices located in distant parts of the vehicle. The AEK-COM-ISOSPI1 is based on the L9963T general purpose SPI to isolated SPI bi-directional transceiver, which can transfer communication data incoming from a classical 4-wire based SPI interface to a 2-wire isolated interface (and vice versa). The L9963T hosted on the AEK-COM-ISOSPI1 can be configured either as a slave or as a master of the SPI bus and supports any protocol of 8-to-64-bit SPI frames. The SPI peripheral can work up to 10 MHz when configured as a slave. The SPI clock frequency can be programmed (250 kHz, 1 MHz, 4 MHz, or 8 MHz) when the device is configured as a master. The transceiver is natively compatible with the L9963E isolated SPI, allowing its usage in battery management system (BMS) applications. The basic BMS analog front-end node board is the AEK-POW-BMS63EN. From the microcontroller side, the AEK-COM-ISOSPI1 board can be connected via SPI with SPC5, Stellar and STM32 microcontroller families. In the AutoDevKit ecosystem software package, we created two example demos: SPC582B - ISOSPI1_LEDdriver test application for discovery, to be downloaded on an AEK-MCU-C1MLIT1 MCU board, and SPC58EC - ISOSPI1_LEDdriver test application for discovery, to be downloaded on an AEK-MCU-C4MLIT1 MCU board. The MCU board of both demos communicate with an AEK-LED-21DISM1 LED driver board using two AEK-COM-ISOSPI1 dongles. The aim of these demos is to show how to configure the AEK-COM-ISOSPI1 to allow the MCU board to communicate with the LED driver board via SPI protocol. After uploading the demos, the MCU boards can send a command to the LED driver board via SPI protocol through the first AEK-COM-ISOSPI1, which converts the SPI signal into an ISOSPI message and then transmits it to the second AEK-COM-ISOSPI1, which converts it back into a SPI message. Finally, the message is transmitted to the AEK-LED-21DISM1 LED driver that executes the command sent. The commands sent are related to the activation of the bucks and the reading of the status register of the AEK-LED-21DISM1 LED driver.

AutoDevKit allows you to save time an effort when prototyping concepts or designs for complex automotive applications by generating custom firmware code and pin-assignments across a suite of functional boards, using SPC5-Studio as your integrated development environment (IDE). The AEK-CON-5SLOTS1 interface board provides a set of 4x37 extension connectors that allow you to reconfigure the pin assignments for ADC, LIN, Timers, DSPI, GPIO, and other standard peripherals on the SPC5x Discovery control board connector for compatibility with AutoDevKit functional boards with different connector pin assignments.
