Light Electric Vehicle (LEV)

Advances in battery technology and the excellent torque-to-weight ratio, durability, and minimal maintenance needs of DC motors have revolutionized personal mobility. While the initial focus has been on e-bikes and e-scooters, this transformative shift in urban transportation is rapidly expanding to more powerful three and four-wheel Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs). Optimized power delivery and energy efficiency are enhancing the performance and range of today’s electric rickshaws (tuk-tuks), quad bikes and All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs).

Design considerations

  • Require a high battery capacity and an efficient motor often housed in space constraint positions
  • Some all-terrain vehicles may require additional motors depending on total output power and whether they offer two- or four-wheel drive (4WD)
  • Typically use a Brushless DC motor but can also employ permanent magnet DC motor (15 kW max) for quad-bikes and ATVs
  • Power MOSFETs have best-in-class power density and current rating, and low heat and high efficiency.
  • LED and Gate drivers provide low cost custom solutions driven by component reduction demand
  • ESD protection for interfaces to avoid field failure

Improve accuracy of AOI in PCB production by using modern package technology

To enhance AOI Nexperia has introduced its new lead shape which is featured in packages such as the CFP15B and CFP2-HP. Watch this video and learn how this new lead shape delivers a more uniform solder joint which is easier to detect with AOI.
