i-StARS-Technology i-StARS / i-StARS+

Integrated StARS for reduced cost and packaging 14V Starter-Generator with integrated air cooled power and control electronics

Ø Fully integrated, air cooled, 14 V inverter bridge and its control with embedded self diagnosis and thermal protection. Ø Standard LIN (1.3 or 2.0) piloted vehicle interface Ø Customizable Control ASIC per application (through OTP bits) Ø Dependable architecture: Ø Safe: hardware digital input enabling to inhibit cranking in case of vehicle hazard detection Ø Reliable: component number reduction, technical choices all validated for high temperature and long termoperations (ASICs qualified at 175°C) Ø Available: Revolutionary power electronics integration (IML) with super low thermal resistance stack designed for continuous and transient mode INNOVATIVE CHARACTERISTICS: Ø Noiseless and immediate cranking (350ms typical) Ø Comfort Stop (engine coasting sequence divided by 2) Ø Best in class alternator efficiencymode thanks to synchronous rectification (75%VDA) Ø High availability for aggressive stop start strategy and consequently higher CO2 savings (650.000 cycles) Ø Thermal management enabling to deliver extra output at low speed when machine and engine are cold Low voltage drop in cranking phase (enabling to suppress costly additional network protection features) INNOVATIVE CHARACTERISTICS: Versus other micro-hybrid technologies
