Toshiba unveils 130nm BiCD for next-generation automotive-rugged integration
Toshiba Electronics Europe has revealed details of its new BiCD process, which combines 130nm logic design rule with current-handling capability to permit unprecedented integration in devices such as sensorless BLDC motor drives. The process is able to guarantee full specification over a wide temperature range, as well as high ESD robustness, providing a platform for a variety of industrial and automotive IC projects.
Efficient high-voltage LED controller family
With the E522.3x chips, ELMOS introduces a new LED controller family. The ICs are designed for input voltages between 5V and 55V and an output voltage of up to 60V in boost mode, and they can be operated – depending on the type – in single and/or dual LED chain mode.
TI unveils integrated power controller for automotive applications
Texas Instruments Incorporated today introduced a dual output power supply for automotive applications that ensures stable, uninterrupted output voltages, even in cases where the input voltage drops significantly below the output voltage levels. The start/stop function in many new car models increases fuel economy, but also leads to significant drops in the supply voltage when restarting the engine. The TPS43330-Q1 family remains fully functional...
Automotive-grade programmable stepper-motor driver ICs
The A3981 and A4980 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe are two new automotive-grade programmable stepper-motor driver ICs that are designed to operate bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter- and sixteenth-step modes at up to 28 V and ±750 mA in automotive, consumer and industrial applications.
NXP Releases LIN Transceiver With Integrated Voltage Regulator in Compact Package
NXP Semiconductors N.V. today announced the TJA1028, a LIN transceiver family with an integrated low-drop voltage regulator in a very small 3x3mm leadless package. The voltage regulator is designed to power an automotive Electronic Control Unit (ECU), integrating the major peripheral functions around the microcontroller of a typical LIN-networked ECU into a single chip.
Robust automotive-grade buck regulator ICs with wide input voltage range
The new A8582 and A8583 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe are robust automotive-grade buck regulator ICs with high switching frequency and output current and a wide input voltage range. Each device integrates a low-resistance high-side N-channel MOSFET, and incorporates current-mode control to provide excellent loop stability and transient response.
