Second MOST Forum Focused on Consumer Device Connectivity to MOST
The second MOST Forum took place on March 23rd, 2010, in Frankfurt, Germany. 150 professionals from the automotive electronics industry and academia participated in the very informative conference and visited the accompanying exhibition. The broad international audience was composed of attendees from Europe as well as India, Japan, South Korea, and the United States.
NFET pre-driver with EEPROM configurability from Melexis reduces footprint & increases operating range for 3 phase BLDC motor control
3 phase brush-less DC (BLDC) motor applications bring higher efficiency and improved performance to electromechanical actuation in automotive systems like pumps, power steering, engine cooling fans and fast positioning drivetrain actuators. Melexis latest pre-driver IC, the MLX83203, deploys EEPROM memory and combined bootstrap and charge pump blocks. Whereas traditional BLDC pre-driver ICs require complex, large packages with many external compo...
Rugged MEMs pressure sensors from Melexis deliver high accuracy & ease of use via innovative technology
Melexis introduces the first of its new line of commercial, off the shelf, packaged MEMs pressure sensors. The MLX90809 benefits from 10+ years of developing custom MEMs pressure sensors for demanding automotive applications. This device is a highly accurate, AEC Q100 qualified relative pressure sensor specifically targeted at 1 Bar applications. The company’s proprietary piezo-resistive MEMS technology combined with a high accuracy sensing...
Melexis unveils first monolithic slave IC for LIN-based RGB LED control - enabling cost effective automotive ambient lighting
Melexis has introduced the MLX81106 - the industry’s first LIN RGB LED slave to be incorporated onto a single semiconductor die. This highly advanced, freely-programmable IC addresses the emergence of automotive LIN RGB ambient lighting systems and is capable of driving up to 4 LEDs directly thanks to its integrated constant current sources. Every output can be programmed to a maximum current of 35 mA through the built-in Flash memory. All ...
EEPROM-Configurable IC Enables Easier Development of TPMS Modules
The MLX91802 is a system in package solution for tire pressure monitoring system implementations that combines an analog pressure sensor and a low power sensor interface with an MLX16 16-bit RISC-based microcontroller. It is housed in a compact, pressure ported, plastic SO16 package and has an operational temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C.

High stability Infrared sensor IC enables fast, accurate temperature measurements in demanding environments
A common challenge for current high end thermometer guns is their sensitivity to fast temperature changes in their environment. A stabilization period of up to ½ hour in a new environment is often necessary to achieve accurate measurements. The new MLX90616ESF-HCA thermopile sensor with integrated electronic stabilization function uses proprietary Melexis technology to reduce the stabilization period to less than half a minute.
Melexis integrated MEMs sensors handle more than just pressure
The MLX90807 and MLX90808 fully integrated, relative and absolute pressure sensor die are realized with CMOS technology combined with MEMS bulk micromachining. These monolithic solutions are both fully automotive qualified. Each consists of a silicon membrane with piezoresistors to transform the stress induced by pressure into an electrical signal. An analog signal chain interacting with a digital core, including programmable memory, allows full ...
Automatic Extended High Dynamic Range Image Sensor from Melexis focuses on Driver Assistance and Night Vision Systems
Melexis announces the launch of a new image sensor in the “Avocet” series, the MLX75412 extended HDR Image Sensor. The MLX75412 includes two on-chip functions: a high performing fully automatic Extended HDR and exposure control function named “Autobrite®” and an adaptive histogram remapping function named “Autoview™”. With these functions, a full feature set is offered which greatly simplifies building HDR cameras.
