ISO 15118 vehicle-to-grid data communication evaluation module with protocol stacks

Arrow Electronics has developed an ISO 15118 vehicle-to-grid data communication evaluation module.

“The software, developed at Arrow’s engineering centre in Gdansk, contains protocol stacks for ISO 15118 V2G. There is also sample application code, as well as support for OCCP [Open Charge-Point Protocol] and Control Pilot interfaces as defined in IEC 61851 and SAE J1772,” said the company. ” V2G is required for fast dc chargers and is becoming the preferred communication protocol for ac charging – it increases charger functionality with future-proof capabilities, including wireless charging, bi-directional power transfer and plug-and-charge.”

The board is built around a Lumissil CG5317 transceiver IC, which is HomePlug Green PHY compliant, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified and operates over -40 to 105°C.

The EV charging reference design is available now.
