Focus MOSFET application – Transmission Control

Application Considerations

Transmission systems distribute the power from the engine to the wheels. The system consists of a clutch, gearbox (manual or automatic), differential and final drive shaft. The actuators used in these systems are either solenoids or brushless DC motors.

Gear Selectors:

MOSFETs are used to drive solenoids that control electro-hydraulic valves or light linear mechanical loads within the gearbox to operate gear changes.

Clutch Control:

Modern clutch systems such as dual clutch control typically use brushless DC motors controlled by MOSFETs. Electric motors for transmission control often need accurate speed, direction and position control.

The control MOSFETs are often situated in the gearbox.

Key MOSFET Requirements:

  • Stable performance at elevated temperatures
  • Compact package
  • Good current handling capability
  • Low on-resistance
