Power electronics and control

From FPGA and controls to power modules - everything from one source, tailored to your needs

Our electronics development department has many years of experience in

  • creating circuit diagrams and layouts
  • verifying design through circuit simulation
  • implementing laboratory fixtures for testing and safeguarding of designs
  • commissioning and testing electronic circuits
  • overview of and responsibility for the entire system - not just for subcomponents
  • proof of quality and safety by FMEA
  • design of power electronics systems
  • power electronics with optimized use of space
  • development and production of in-house power modules (IGBT / MOSFET)
    • optimal usage of semi-conductors used
    • optimized, low-inductance design of power modules
    • integrating snubber capacitors
  • planning system tests
  • commissioning and carrying out measurements, and documenting system tests

Compact integration of inverters in our electromechanical transformers very often require power electronics with optimized use of space.

Common power modules frequently do not fulfill these requirements; so, we are able to develop and produce our own power modules based on IGBT, MOSFET, and SiC, if necessary.

Great emphasis is placed on optimal usage of the semiconductors. An optimized, low-inductive module design and the integration of snubber capacitors allow power electronics to be used in even the smallest installation spaces.

Compact Dynamics has various computing platforms for controlling the power unit.

For development projects, we use our own, powerful, computing platform, which consists of a 32-bit micro-controller and an FPGA or computing platform for automotive applications (AUTOSAR®-compliant).

Switching frequencies of up to 60 kHz are part of the development standard at Compact Dynamics.

Congratulations to the winners of the WRC and many thanks for the last 4 years

Congratulations to Hyundai Motor Company's Thierry Neuville / Martijn Wydaeghe for the Drivers' World Championship title and to TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Europe for the 2024 FIA World Rally Championship Manufacturers' World Championship title.

Compact Dynamics' time as the exclusive series supplier of the FIA's hybrid system for the WRC rallies from 2022 to 2024 will unfortunately come to an end with the abolition of the hybrid unit in the Rally1 cars from 2025.

Many thanks to the teams of Hyundai Motor Company, Toyota Motor Corporation and Ford Motor Company/M-Sport, to the WRC Promoter GmbH and to the FIA World Rally Championship for the good cooperation. A heartfelt thank you to Edouard Montagner Fricker, Laurent Le Bastard and Barny Whitwham, our WRC track support team, for their excellent work on site.
