Ensilica ASIC for hybrid car
EnSilica developed a bespoke mixed-signal ASIC device that integrates both high voltage and low noise sensing interfaces qualified to AEC-Q100 grade 0 and designed to achieve ISO26262 ASIL-D compliance. The ASIC's functionality was developed in close collaboration with the automotive supplier to meet the needs of the OEM's high-performance vehicle range which requires sophisticated chassis management and control. The technology is equally suited to hybrids, EVs and hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles.
