Silicon Mobility, an Intel Company, is set to revolutionize the electric vehicle (EV) market with the launch of the OLEA U310 system-on-chip (SoC). This groundbreaking solution integrates cutting-edge hardware and software to provide a comprehensive approach to power and energy control, facilitating the automotive industry’s shift towards a fully electric, software-defined future.
The high purchase price of EVs has been a significant barrier for potential buyers globally, primarily due to the costly advanced battery and e-motor technology required. Silicon Mobility addresses this challenge by enhancing the efficiency of existing battery technology through vehicle-level energy savings and improved integration with EV station infrastructure.
The OLEA U310 is the industry’s first complete solution that combines hardware and software for powertrain domain control in electrical architectures with distributed software. Its unique hybrid and heterogeneous architecture allows a single OLEA 310 Field Programmable Control Unit (FPCU) to replace up to six standard microcontrollers, controlling inverters, motors, gearboxes, DC-DC converters, and on-board chargers. This innovation enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers to manage multiple power and energy functions in real-time.
Key Performance Improvements
- Energy Efficiency: Up to 5% improvement.
- Motor Downsizing: 25% smaller motors for the same power output.
- Cooling Needs: 35% reduction.
