Melexis has introduced the MLX81334, a motor driver designed to optimise EV thermal valves (accurate battery temperature control) and expansion valves (heat pump refrigeration loop). 

Melexis has released two relative pressure sensor ICs with extended robustness to harsh media.

Melexis is expanding its range of automotive-qualified inductive resolvers for e-motor applications (power steering, traction motor, brake booster). The MLX90517 complements the MLX90510 by providing raw signals to enable off-chip compensation in the ECU.

The new MLX90376 is an absolute magnetic position sensor IC, handling 360° rotary automotive applications with strong stray field immunity (SFI).

Melexis introduces a new series of integrated pressure sensors. They are intended for use in automotive engine management.

Melexis has announced the MLX91230 and the MLX91231. They offer access to shunt or Hall type current sensor technologies. These ASIL compliant devices can measure voltage, current and temperature. Customers will be provided with flexibility and design reusability in their electric vehicle (EV) power systems.

Li Auto Inc., an emerging Chinese EV OEM, has incorporated a new generation of intuitive gesture control system in its cars. The 3D camera at the core of this system integrates the Melexis MLX75027, the "world's only" automotive-qualified VGA resolution ToF (time-of-flight) sensor.

Melexis’ LIN pre-driver IC for relay DC motors offers a combination of high power, compactness, and attractive pricing.

Melexis launches its next member of the MeLiBu family, the MLX81143 LED driver.

The Current Sensor Simulator from Melexis simplifies the design and implementation of current-sensing technology using the company’s proprietary IMC-Hall technology. This tool enables customers to make decisions about device and shield selection.

New Melexis 3D magnetic resolver IC is optimized for robust motor design: smallest footprint, programmable at module level, cost-effective and ASIL-ready.

Melexis expands its portfolio of 3D magnetic position sensing solutions with the introduction of the MLX9042x series. These sensors are intended for cost-conscious automotive customers who need to measure absolute position accurately and safely in harsh and noisy environments over an extended temperature range.

Melexis has introduced the MLX81346, a single chip LIN pre-driver for high power up to 2000W. The MLX81346 enables motor control miniaturisation and efficient silent drive with field-oriented control (FOC).

In order to address more challenging customer deployments, Melexis has expanded its MLX90412 product offering. The latest version of this 2.2A automotive-qualified pump/fan driver IC is optimised to deal with high ambient temperature levels and supports prolonged operational lifespans.

Melexis is helping automobile manufacturers gain a competitive edge, opening up opportunities to add animated lighting functionality to their vehicles. A combination of advanced multi-channel driver ICs and a license-free high-speed bus protocol provide the performance and scalability required.

Semiconductor giant Melexis and automotive software leader emotion3D have partnered to offer a driver monitoring system with high-precision 3D driver localisation, to dynamically align augmented reality (AR) objects with head-up display (HUD) content.

Melexis has developed an intelligent OLED controller that integrates all of the active components needed to realise combined point (LED) and area (OLED) lighting applications inside and outside the vehicle. Each MLX81130 can drive 25 LEDs/OLEDs and it supports the Melexis Light Bus (MeLiBu) interface. It allows simpler static and animated lighting system development. It is especially suitable for Rear Combination Lamps (RCL) or small OLED display...

Melexis has introduced a free, online tool for magnetic sensor evaluation and module design simulator. The online tool gives customers’ engineering teams the ability to design and simulate their own magnets based on Melexis’ Triaxis 2D/3D sensors. By using the simulation application, engineers can quickly design a custom magnetic sensor module to their own specification.

Melexis has revealed next-generation current sensors for automotive power-conversion applications. The advantages they deliver include increased resolution, optional 3.3V or 5V operation, and integrated over-current detection circuitry.

Melexis has expanded its portfolio of non-contact position sensors, with the addition of two new devices which complement the existing MLX90364/5/6/7 products. The MLX90421 and MLX90422 are based on the company’s proprietary Triaxis high-accuracy magnetic sensing technology. They have the same key features as the MLX90364/5/6/7 devices, but with some additional enhancements incorporated.
