This article focuses on the challenges of current sensing in high-power integrated traction inverters and highlights the advantages offered by compact, magnetic-core-based sensors. Electric vehicles (EVs) are touted as the future of transportation as the electric mobility boom takes hold. Globally, according to the International Energy Agency’s “Global EV Outlook 2022,” the number of electric cars on the road at the end of 2021 was approximately 16.5 million, and global EV sales in the first five months of 2022 exceeded 3.2 million units.

Engineers working with electronic systems are accustomed to change, traditionally driven by the continuous cost reductions made possible by Moore's Law, and currently by the rise of technologies that enable connectivity, from the Internet of Things (IoT) to the metaverse. Testing and measurement are an essential component of any engineering organization's ability to develop its products. This places manufacturers of test equipment at the forefront of this ongoing evolution to meet market demands.

Miniaturization has been a constant in the world of semiconductor technology since its inception. The most demanding applications require increasingly smaller components to fit into portable devices or to reduce size and weight in mobile applications, but also, increasingly, in industrial, medical, and automotive applications.

Processors are becoming increasingly integrated devices, which is not surprising: when we can fit more functions into a single package, we optimize printed circuit board space, reduce material costs, and simplify power supply issues. This is good news for many applications, from inference to edge computing, as well as for accelerating computationally intensive searches and industrial automation cobots.

Connectors have the unique characteristic of performing two functions. While other electronic components handle only an electrical function, connectors also perform a mechanical task: they physically connect two parts of a system. In a favorable environment, this doesn't pose a significant challenge. For example, the connector installed in a television or desktop computer might have screws securing it, but nobody bothers to unscrew them.

ROHM has signed a joint development agreement with Mazda Motor Corporation (Mazda) and Imasen Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., (Imasen) for SiC inverters and power modules to be used in electric vehicle propulsion units, including the e-Axle.
As the "heart of the electric vehicle," the e-Axle integrates a motor, gearbox, and inverter into a single unit that determines the driving performance and energy conversion efficiency of electric vehicles. SiC MOSFETs, in particular, are expected to further improve efficiency.
