Introducing the Syvecs X4 Expander, a compact yet incredibly powerful expansion unit designed to enhance the input and output capabilities of powertrain electronics installations in automotive applications.
Key Features:
Versatile Half Bridge Outputs:
- The X4 is equipped with four Half Bridges drivers, offering the flexibility to drive Low, High, or join them in pairs to function as a full bridge motor driver. Each H-Bridge output is accompanied by a current monitoring circuit, which can be assigned in strategies on Syvecs Engine Controllers or utilized as current limiting functions in other applications.
Simplified ABS Sensor Reading:
- The inclusion of four MagnetoResistive circuits simplifies the process of reading ABS sensors commonly found in modern automotive applications. This feature allows for easier sensor connection by requiring only one side of the sensor to be connected to the X4, with the other side grounded.
Analog Inputs for Monitoring:
- Four 0-5V analog inputs are provided, suitable for monitoring switches, pressure transducers, or positional sensors. While these inputs are not capable of frequency detection, they serve as valuable tools for various monitoring functions.
Wide Range of Applications:
- The X4 is built to withstand the harshest conditions and high temperatures, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether it's external Drive By Wire support, electronic wastegates, fuel pump control, and more, the X4 offers enhanced control possibilities.
CANbus Interfaces for Communication:
- Two CAN 2.0B interfaces are integrated into the X4, offering seamless communication with other controllers or logging systems. These interfaces are pre-configured for Slave Control with S7, S8, and S12 ECU models, or XCan Support for other ECUs.
