Melexis reinforces its reputation in the automotive current sensing market by announcing 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.

Melexis launches its next member of the MeLiBu^® family, the MLX81143 LED driver. It includes 21 LED drivers and improves the power management of the full system.

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

By focusing on the advanced features, the latest rotary and linear positioning devices offer economical solutions.

Melexis has introduced the MLX81346, a single chip LIN pre-driver for high power up to 2000 W. The MLX81346 enables motor control miniaturization and efficient silent drive with field-oriented control (FOC). It addresses automotive mechatronic applications - including oil pumps, engine cooling fans, and BLDC positioning actuators.

Ever since the automobile industry’s inception over a century ago, car manufacturers have been looking for ways to differentiate their models from those of the competition. For a large proportion of the decades that have followed, this differentiation was mainly based on the development of vehicles that delivered better performance or road handling.

Innovative architecture with on-chip offset and propagation delay compensation provides accurate stray field immune position sensing at speeds up to 240,000 e-rpm.

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.
