This reference design is an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) front-end controller which acts as the central communication module for the EV charging process. The design supports AC and a wide range of global DC charging standards, including Combined Charging System (CCS), Guobiao/Tuijian (GB/T), and Charge de Move (CHAdeMO).
Features
- J1772 and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61851 compliant Control Pilot – full support for AC charging control signaling
- Power Line Communication (PLC) – high-level communication according to ISO 15118
- Relay control and safety features – including integrated temperature monitoring
- Multiple communication interfaces – Controller Area Network (CAN), RS-485, RS-232, and Ethernet for control of power conversion units, external metering devices, peripherals and networking
- Display human-machine interface (HMI) support – Display Serial Interface (DSI) connector on the AM62L-EVM for HMI integration
