Infineon launches PSOC™ 4 HVPA-SPM 1.0 – bringing intelligence to automotive BMS to enable zonal architectures

Infineon Technologies introduces the PSOC™ 4 HVPA-SPM 1.0, an advanced microcontroller designed for high-voltage Li-ion battery management in electric vehicles (xEVs). The microcontroller combines precision, safety, and programmability, while supporting zonal architectures and the transition to Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs). To maximize its impact, Infineon is partnering with Munich Electrification, a leading provider of innovative battery management software.

The PSOC 4 HVPA-SPM 1.0 offers a fully integrated design with key features that bring advanced intelligence, safety, and efficiency to BMS. It provides high-precision monitoring of current, voltage, and temperature, ensuring reliable battery performance and improving the accuracy of State-of-Charge (SoC) and State-of-Health (SoH). Fully compliant with ASIL D (ISO 26262) safety standards, the microcontroller ensures robust and reliable operation in critical high-voltage battery systems. Its built-in Arm^® Cortex^®-M0+ processor delivers advanced edge intelligence, enabling faster data processing and reducing the load on the central Electronic Control Unit (ECU). This supports zonal architectures and allows OEMs to customize the system for specific requirements.

Building on the launch of the PSOC 4 HVPA-SPM 1.0, Infineon is partnering with Munich Electrification to deliver the “Smart Edge BMS Software” for smarter and more efficient BMS. The collaboration leverages Infineon’s semiconductor technology and Munich Electrification’s software expertise (more info).
