 VI power fuse, an intelligent fuse for the automobile of tomorrow. The automotive industry is experiencing the biggest upheaval in its history. The major trends for the car of the future are vehicle electrification, autonomous driving, connected car, and a completely new architecture. The volume of the electronic inside the car will increase dramatically. A smarter and more flexible energy distribution platform will be needed. There will be new powertrain and regulation, including 48V network and a strategy of weight saving. We will see more globalized platforms with dynamic reconfigurability of the reference platform. Today we will show you, through a demo, how smart will be the power distribution of tomorrow. How is ST engaged in this evolution? ST brings its contribution in all these areas with innovation, development of new products, and ideas. There are many challenges with the new architecture with increased wire hardness complexity and requesting platforms, standardization, and functional safety. The updated star type topology of the widely used fuse and relays based energy distribution cannot make any more the job. A full semiconductor solution has then to be considered. This represents a real revolution in this domain. To answer to these challenges, ST has developed, among many other devices, the VI power fuse, which is a smart and intelligent fuse dedicated for new zonal architecture. What is it VI power fuse? VI power fuse is a fully integrated intelligent smart electric fuse developed with ST VI power technology. It consists of a low resistive power stage and a controller to protect both the power stage and the system in case of overload and also feed the microcontroller with many diagnostics like the load current or the temperature or any abnormal behavior in the system. Unlike a conventional fuse, it shuts down the output current in case of a short circuit event without having to be replaced. It can restart millions of times. This device embeds a specific and unique configurable over current protection named I square T, which mimics the behavior of a fuse protection curve with a much better accuracy. Finally, this device has a very low current consumption, which make it suitable to replace fuses which are connected to the permanent power line. What benefits does VI power fuse bring? Many advantages could be highlighted. Let's talk about the most important. First, its precise I square T protection feature, including a fast reaction time, allows the car maker to consider reducing the wire size by one goge in many cases compared to a conventional fuse. By using many of them, the total weight saving at the car level can be an asset for the car maker to gain weight than money. Thinner wires and a smaller hardness weight means less CO2 and consequently the car will be greener. Second, the protection is configurable, which allow the car maker to optimize the goge of the wire for each specific load. Third, unlike a mechanical fuse, it is resetable and need no maintenance. Repetitive reactivation of potential defect ECU is possible versus classic fuse, which is one time breaker. The electronic fuse box must not anymore be accessible. In this demo, a motorcycle lift is used as an application. Everything will be showed as a game, player against motorbike lift. Who is the strongest? The player will generate an overload, which must be supervised by the VIP fuse component. During the test, we will see how the fuse curve is elaborated by the VIP fuse and how we are able then adjust it to the system without further maintenance. In the first game, VIP fuse configuration is done to allow player to win the game. The overload applied with leg on the lift generates an overcurrent in the motor detected by the VIP fuse. In a classic today system, we blow the fuse as for safety demand. In this advanced system, the VIP fuse is still blown, but can be easily re-armed and reused. In the second game, we show a simple running load simulation without any failure because the VIP fuse configuration doesn't allow player to win. The fuse doesn't blow and in the screen, we will be showed the acquired VIP fuse IT curve. By evaluating the received diagnostic and changing its configuration, VIP fuse can be reconfigured to better fit the new load without further maintenance and hardware changes. Our end words and conclusion. In this demo, we show only a part of the VIP power fuse benefits linked to the hazardous situation generating a failure. We have seen how a failure is generated and how we were able to adjust the system to the new situation without any maintenance and hardware changing. The future car received many information from the application. The VIP power fuse with its integrated features will help the car maker to fulfill the needs for the vehicle electrification, autonomous driving, connected car with a completely new architecture.
