Melexis revealed new LIN BLDC-motor pre-drivers that combine small size with high performance and power capability for automotive mechatronic applications. The MLX81340 (32KB Flash) and MLX81344 (64KB Flash) integrate three channels of high-side and low-side drivers. They control external NFETs with up to 60nC capacitance to handle applications up to 500W.
MLX81118 with 24 outputs enhances flexibility to animate and personalize ambient lighting via LIN, delivering increased reliability and ISO 26262 compliance for ASIL-A applications.
Dedicated automotive pump driver meets requirements for high ambient temperatures and long operating lifetime. 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 optimized to deal with high ambient temperature levels and supports prolonged operational lifespans.
Melexis, a global leader in automotive semiconductors, and emotion3D, a leading provider of camera-based automotive in-cabin analysis software, have joined forces to offer a unique 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) demonstrator. The solution combines the driver monitoring system (DMS) with high-precision 3D driver localization, to dynamically align augmented reality head-up displays (AR HUD) objects.
