Emulation: The Future of EV Design
by Keysight from IEEE Spectrum on (#6BJ22)
Automakers face pressure to develop energy-efficient and powerful electric vehicle (EV) batteries, electric drivetrains, and charging infrastructure as the global automotive market ramps up EV production to meet net zero emission goals.
Emulation technology is emerging as a vital tool that reduces design verification time and cost across this e-mobility ecosystem. Designers fine-tune prototypes for EV cells, modules, packs, and battery management systems with emulators before mass production. Emulators can also assume the roles of EVs, charging stations, and power supplies to validate products for interoperability and conformance to global industry standards.
