1.35MP CMOS image sensor enhances automotive safety
Designed for automotive safety applications, the MLX75421 Blackbird has been introduced by Melexis. This High Dynamic Range (HDR) image sensor provides an extensive set of on-chip functional safety (ASIL) support functions, making it suitable for automatic emergency braking, electronic mirrors/camera monitor systems, autonomous evasive steering and next-gen viewing applications.
Directly connect Hall effect sensor into automotive designs
Incorporating amplifier, analogue output and internal compensation circuits, Melexis has announced the MLX90290 linear Hall sensor IC. The monolithically integrated magnetic sensor IC converts magnetic flux into an analogue output, guaranteeing critical functional parameters to absolute levels, simplifying integration by removing the need for end-of-line calibration.
Safety verification reduces ISO 26262 compliance preparation by 50%
Claimed to reduce the effort required by automotive designers to prepare for ISO 26262 compliance by up to 50%, Cadence Design Systems has introduced an automotive functional safety verification solution. The fault injection and safety verification technologies, which help automotive engineers automate ISO 26262 compliance for traceability, safety verification and tool confidence level, are an expansion to the company’s Incisive functional ...
Hall effect sensor doesn't need a PCB or discrete components
Able to be directly implemented into the design without a PCB or supplementary board level components, a new version of the MLX92242 Hall effect sensor IC has been introduced by Melexis. With a built-in capacitor, the sensor IC does not increase the overall dimensions or require additional soldering.
How are MEMS sensors impacting the medical market?
The use of MEMS technology to develop more capable sensors is already having a big impact on the medical market. By Peter Riendeau, Marketing Communications Manager, Melexis.
Melexis brings 3D vision to automotive infotainment
Melexis and SoftKinetic announce the first time of flight (ToF) 3D sensor for automobile safety and infotainment markets. The MLX75023 sensor, featuring SoftKinetic technology and manufactured in Melexis’ Automotive grade CMOS mixed signal process, is the highest resolution 3D sensor available. It works in full sunlight, making it a suitable solution for a vehicle’s cockpit.
2-wire Hall effect switches can be re-programmed
The latest addition to the company’s advanced Hall effect switch/latch IC offering, Melexis Technologies has announced the MLX92242. The highly integrated device combines a voltage regulator (supporting a wide operating voltage range), Hall sensing element and a current sink-configured output driver all in a single compact, low-profile package.
LIN transceiver IC addresses multiple LIN system demand
Due to the the growth ofLocal interconnect network (LIN) nodes in cars, which result inmaster modules controlling multiple LIN buses, Melexis have introduced a2 and 4-channel LIN transceiver IC. The MLX80002/4 can reduce system costs of the LIN physical layer by 20% compared to multiple single transceiver ICs found in, for example, a body control module (BCM).
SMD crystal for wireless communications is shock-resistant
Specifically designed for use in wireless communications such as handheld transmitters, the SMD02502/4 series SMD crystal has been announced by PETERMANN-TECHNIK. The small crystal is supplied in a 2.5x2.0mm ceramic housing with four solder pads.
Custom Hall effect sensors at off-the-shelf prices
Allowing magnetic switching thresholds to be configured (including hysteresis), the MLX92231 and MLX92211 digital Hall effect sensors from Melexis are factory pre-programmed to precise Hall effect switch or latch specifications. This enables tailored results that match the customer’s specific application requirements without the cost usually associated with custom solutions.
