Application Software for OLEA® FPCU Enabling Best In Class Control of Electrified Powertrains

OLEA APP – T222 INVERTER is optimized for the OLEA T222 FPCU parallel architecture, which allows high-performance real-time and safe control of advanced power electronics and electric motors.

The application provides efficient and safe torque, speed, current or rotor control using Field Oriented Control (FoC) and variable Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) algorithms. The modular software is flexible and can be adapted to a large variety of customer applications, whether Low or High-Voltage systems with PMSM or WRSM motor. The high controller performance supports not only MOSFET and IGBT power transistors – it is particularly suited for the latest technology SiC or GaN based inverters.

By exploiting the programmable and parallel hardware of the OLEA T222 FPCU chip, it allows real-time control loops and switching frequencies up to 100 kHz. The application has two independent stacks – one for control and one for functional safety – designed as AUTOSAR Complex Device Drivers including APIs to interface with the RTE bus.

To support customers’ developments, the OLEA APP – T222 INVERTER platform enables a fully integrated model-based design flow along the development cycle, from Model-in-the-Loop through Hardware-in-the-Loop simulations down to calibration and validation thanks to its native ASAM standard support.
