CISSOID’s inverter control modules achieve ISO26262

This certification underscores CISSOID's commitment to delivering functionally safe and highly customisable solutions that bridge the gap between discrete hardware components and off-the-shelf inverters, enabling optimised power electronics design for electric vehicles and industrial applications.

A customisable inverter control solution

The fast-paced evolution of power electronics demands a delicate balance between performance, flexibility, and time-to-market.

Engineers often face a difficult choice: rigid, off-the-shelf inverters that limit optimisation or fully custom hardware and software that require extensive development time and validation.

CISSOID’s inverter control modules (ICMs) eliminate this trade-off, offering a pre-qualified, functionally safe solution that combines the efficiency of off-the-shelf systems with the customisability of discrete hardware components. This best-of-both-worlds approach enables manufacturers to tailor their inverter designs to specific voltage, power, and motor control requirements – accelerating development while ensuring safety and performance.

These modules offer:

• Pre-qualified functional safety (ISO26262 ASIL-C Ready) and optimised performance
• Hardware and software flexibility to adapt to specific motor, voltage, and power requirements
• A streamlined development path that reduces engineering complexity and time-to-market

By integrating field-proven inverter control technology with customisable hardware interfaces, the ICMs allow developers to fine-tune their inverters to maximise efficiency and reliability while ensuring compliance with strict safety standards.

Powered by Intel Automotive’s adaptive control technology

The inverter control modules are built around Intel Automotive’s Adaptive Control Unit T222, a powerful, flexible processor designed for ultra-fast reaction times to motor events. This application-specific processor delivers high-performance real-time control, enabling precise and efficient inverter operation. The ICMs also support Intel Automotive’s Adaptive Control APP software, a customisable, high-performance software platform that allows developers to optimise a wide range of motor control topologies. Both the T222 processor and the inverter software suite are ISO 26262 ASIL-D certified. With this combination of advanced hardware and software, CISSOID provides a scalable, functionally safe solution that meets the highest standards while delivering best-in-class performance.

Accelerating functional safety and electrification innovation

“This certification is a significant achievement, reinforcing our commitment to providing power electronics designers with an adaptable, functionally safe platform,” said Etienne Vanzieleghem, VP Engineering at CISSOID. “By combining the reliability of an off-the-shelf solution with the flexibility of custom hardware integration, our ICMs enable customers to accelerate electrification projects without compromising safety or performance.”

With ASIL-C Ready certification, the ICMs offer a plug-and-play foundation for EV powertrains, industrial automation, and renewable energy systems. Their scalability and ease of integration help customers future-proof their designs and reduce development risks, making them a game-changing solution for next-generation electrification.

Overcoming the technological bottleneck of SiC adoption is crucial for accelerating electrification. By providing a ready-to-use, functionally safe inverter control solution, CISSOID enable customers to focus on their core innovations and competitive advantages rather than the complexities of power electronics integration.
