San Francisco: Silicon Mobility, an Intel company, Tuesday launched new OLEA U310 system-on-chip (SoC) which it believes will successfully address various challenges Electric Vehicles manufacturers are facing including mainly the high costs associated with advanced battery and e-motor technology.
Intel’s new OLEA U310 SoC promises to significantly improve the overall performance of electric vehicles (EVs), streamline design and production processes, and expand SoC services to ensure seamless operation across various EV station platforms.
“Representing a first for the industry, the new SoC is the only complete solution that combines hardware and software in one and is engineered to match the need for powertrain domain control in electrical architectures with distributed software”, Intel said.
“Built with a unique hybrid and heterogeneous architecture, a single OLEA 310 FPCU can replace as many as six standard microcontrollers in a system combination in which it controls an inverter, a motor, a gearbox, a DC-DC converter and an on-board-charger”, the leading chip maker said.
“Using the 310 FPCU, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers can control multiple and diverse power and energy functions simultaneously in real time”, it said.
With the implementation of the system Intel claims up to 5% energy efficiency improvement, 25% motor downsizing for the same power, 35% less cooling need and up to 30 times passive component downsizing compared todays EV’s.
“The benefits of the new Silicon Mobility solution empower EV manufacturers to design software-defined electric vehicles with exceptional performance, improved range and potentially lower production costs because they now have fewer components to integrate”, Intel said.
The new solution also complements Intel Automotive’s existing family of AI-enhanced software-defined vehicle (SDV) SoCs and collectively will advance the industry’s transformation toward an all-electric and software-defined future.
