The front end supply ensures a clean, regulated, protected supply to the rest of the system in an automotive system. It also prevents noise and transients generated in the system from coupling back into the rest of the system.
With rapidly expanding electronic content in the latest generation of cars, there is an ever increasing need for power conversion from the car’s battery rail. The 12-V battery rail is subject to a variety of transients. This pres-ents a unique challenge in terms of the power architecture for off-battery systems.
A variety of factors are responsible for the battery-rail transients in automotive systems . The purpose of the front-end power stage is to insulate the sensitive electrical and electronic loads from these wide variations and to power the loads with a conditioned voltage rail.
The grid-rectifier, HF inverter, compensation network, and transmitter coil are stationary components on the primary side that are wired to the power source (grid). The receiver coil, compensation network, and rectifier that are mounted within the car and connected to the battery system make up the secondary side.
When choosing a good buck converter for off-battery operation, the most important factor is that the input voltage range should be higher (with margin) than the highest possible input voltage it could see. Other factors include efficiency, size, and cost.
When an EV is attached to a charger, the EV battery will either begin charging instantly or after a wait. If most EVs charge at the same time, there will be a high demand for power and energy from the power grid, which will lead to an undesirable low voltage within the distribution network.
Using a Smart Ideal Diode for Car Battery Front-End Protection
The N-FET must be placed on the high side, and the smart diode controller IC also takes power from the high side. The internal supply voltage must exceed the battery voltage (V BATT) to drive the N-FET. There are two methods to generate this supply voltage: via charge pump or boost, which are both described below (see Figure 4).
