4th Generation HIL

• Ultra-high fidelity redefined.
• 200ns simulation time step.
• 5ns digital input sampling.
• The most accurate 100kHz Dual-active bridge (DAB) model.
• JMAG-RT FEM electric machine model import.
• HIL connectivity exploded: USB3.0, Ethernet, Gb/s serial link, JTAG, General Purpose IO (GPIO)

While automotive and aerospace industries have already adopted model based HIL testing, power electronics industry is only playing a catch up. The good news is that the 4^th generation HIL is delivering the unprecedented model fidelity needed for the most advanced motor drives and automotive power electronics applications.

High switching frequency converters, new wide-bandgap semiconductors, and new topologies are fueling the need for next generation controllers that are demanding HIL testing with ever smaller simulation time steps; faster gate drive sampling times; smaller loop-back latencies; and increasing model fidelity (including nonlinearities, spatial harmonics etc.).

However, HIL404 is so much more than just a faster HIL402 tuned for very-high frequency applications. It is a device that brings many advanced features of our industrial grade 6-series devices to the 4-series, such as:

• Nonlinear machine modeling;
• Accurate real-time converter power losses simulation; and
• Extended connectivity with out of the box support for CAN, RS232, USB 3.0, ETH protocols, including device paralleling support.

Agenda
