Technical solutions to improve the energy efficiency of automotive fieldbus

For traditional passenger cars, the fuel tank is the only real source of energy, so manufacturers are looking to save energy in all automotive systems, including electronic systems, to further improve fuel economy and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. As the number of electronic systems added to automobiles continues to increase to enhance vehicle performance and safety, and to provide buyers with attractive new features, the energy savings of each electronic control unit (ECU) in the vehicle is low. It will increase the total fuel consumption.

Chip designers have been able to reduce the total energy consumption of the devices they offer by using different technologies and approaches. Combining the functionality of multiple devices in a single system base chip (SBC) and applying different power management strategies can help further reduce total energy consumption. These developments indicate that today's internal combustion engine vehicles can comfortably and safely carry passengers with less fuel and lower carbon emissions.

Enhanced system base chip

The SBC provides power, drivers and connectivity for various modules (such as door modules) that are connected to the car (CAN or LIN) bus. Typically, they may integrate a voltage regulator to power controllers and sensors, high-side and/or low-side drivers, transceiver interfaces, and other system connectivity functions such as wake-up or watchdog pins. Integrating these features in a single device combined with built-in power management provides advantages in power, cost, and size compared to using discrete components. Today's SBCs use existing technology and power management to provide approximately 20 μA of sleep current and approximately 60 μA of standby current.

CAN application in body control

In a typical SPC, the on-chip voltage regulator is typically a low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator, as shown in Figure 1. For this reason, the main challenge for designers is thermal management because LDO power dissipation is relatively high. For a regulated current supply current of 150 mA at 5 V, the SBC should be able to dissipate up to 1.3 W of total power. If the SBC's LDO contains a built-in bypass component, this power is dissipated inside the SBC package. SBCs for modules that require more current (typically above 250 mA) are typically designed for use with external bypass components. This effectively dissipates the power dissipation between the SBC and the external MOSFET, thereby extending the practical ambient temperature range.

Improving the power efficiency of the power supply circuit, such as using a switch mode DC-DC converter at some or all of the LDOs, can significantly reduce the power loss per SCAN of each CAN node in the car. This can help simplify heat management and improve fuel economy.

With carefully chosen converter architectures, SBCs with switch-mode DC-DC conversion offer significant advantages for newer vehicles that use automatic stop-start (or micro-hybrid) technology. The automatic stop-start technology shuts down the engine when the car is stopped (such as waiting for a traffic light), which can reduce the fuel consumption in the city by about 15% to 20%; when the driver steps on the accelerator pedal (throttle), the engine automatically restarts. Make the system work effectively, and this process is transparent to the driver. To ensure that all systems on the CAN bus continue to function properly, the application must remain fully operational, even when the Battery voltage drops to as low as 2.5 V during engine start-up. In this case, the step-up DC-DC topology allows the SBC to provide the required regulated output voltage under all operating conditions.
