A custom charging controller is advantageous when standard solutions are not a functionally, mechanically, or economically optimal fit for the product. This is the case, for example, with specific interface requirements, particular form factors, enhanced safety requirements, or clear targets for integration, scalability, and production costs. In these cases, customer-specific development enables a perfectly tailored system architecture.

Depending on the project, PHYTEC can develop individual components as well as the complete platform. This includes the selection or customer-specific design of the System on Modules, the development of the carrier board, the integration of relevant interfaces, and the appropriate hardware and software development. The result is a comprehensive solution that is technically and functionally tailored to the respective product.

The System on Module (SOM) It handles the computing power and forms the technological basis of the system. It typically contains the processor, memory, and other key functions of the embedded platform.
The Carrier board This is the application-specific carrier board. Here, precisely the interfaces, connections, and peripheral functions required by the respective product are implemented.
For customers in the charging electronics sector, this means: The SOM provides the finished processor base, while the carrier board is individually designed to meet the requirements of the respective charging solution. This reduces development complexity and integration effort.

The specific configuration depends on the project requirements. Typical integrations include Ethernet, CAN, RS485, UART, USB, digital inputs and outputs, and other communication and peripheral interfaces. Depending on the application, wireless technologies, HMI components, sensors, power meters, or additional security and update functions can also be integrated. The design is always system-related and application-specific.
