Control Solutions for Outdoor EV Chargers

24/04/2023

Project Introduction

EV charging units are often installed in outdoor environments with extremely low temperatures. As the climates or seasons change, EV charger station devices face challenges created by unpredictable temperatures. Wide temperature DRAM memory peripherals avoid operational problems by stabilizing functionality in harsh environments. 

Customer Pain Points

Our customers in Europe face critical cold weather challenges. Indeed, winter conditions cause system boot up problems and unstable operation in outdoor applications. Accordingly, wide temperature systems and robust DRAM memory is necessary for harsh environment operation. 

  • Unstable system operation and boot up problems in cold weather 
  • Challenges arise when the weather changes suddenly, during heavy rains, or after dusk 

Project Description

The European customer in this case had a rugged motherboard but needed a memory solution capable of enduring cold temperatures. Accordingly, industrial DRAM memory was chosen to stabilize system operation.
