NUREMBERG, Germany -- (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.
