DC motor control IC highlights for automotive applications
Whatever you touch in a car, there is an electric motor close by. Brushed DC motors are easy to control and often serve as actuators with an overall short operating time. Torque control down to zero speed is easy to achieve. Typical applications are:
- Body applications such as power seat modules, power closure systems, window lift, sunroof, mirror modules and wipers.
- Powertrain and thermal management such as HVAC control modules, and engine cooling fans.
- Security relevant applications such as electronic parking brake, and electronic seatbelt pre-tensioners.
The multi MOSFET gate driver ICs range of high-performance solutions:
- Advanced MOTIX™ multi MOSFET driver ICs to drive up to 16 external MOSFETs with the state of the art protection features.
- MOTIX™ single and multi half-bridge ICs, and full-bridge ICs, integrating driver stage and MOSFETs into one package with excellent diagnosis and protection features.
- Innovative MOTIX™ motor system ICs (SBC) for BDC motor control integrating gate driver, power supply and communication.
- With MOTIX™ MCU (SoC) Infineon offers in addition 32-bit motor control SoC (system-on-chip) solutions for BDC and BLDC motors up to 3 kW.
BLDC motor control IC highlights for automotive applications
Brushless DC (BLDC) motors have less wear but need a complex control algorithm and, therefore, higher computing power than a DC motor drive. BLDC motors are most suitable for applications demanding long-term continuous duty. Typical applications are
- Powertrain and thermal management such as HVAC compressor, auxiliary pumps, fuel pumps and engine cooling fans.
- Security relevant applications such as electric power steering, brake booster, and MHEV starter generator.
- Body applications such as seat cooling and sunroof or front wiper
Infineon offers different BLDC motor control IC solutions to meet customer-specific preferences:
- MOTIX™ gate driver ICs for BLDC motor control for voltage domains ranging from 12 V to 48 V (up to ASIL-D).
- MOTIX™ motor system ICs (SBC) integrating gate driver, power supply and communication (LIN or CAN FD transceivers).
- With MOTIX™ MCU (SoC) (/microcontroller/embedded-power-ics-system-on-chip-/) Infineon offers in addition 32-bit motor control SoC (system-on-chip ) solutions for BDC and BLDC motors up to 1 kW.
Motor control IC highlights for industrial & consumer applications
iMOTION™ products are offered in several integration levels including hardware as well as software. The hardware integration comprises stand-alone motor controllers, motor controllers with integrated gate drivers (SmartDriver) and fully integrated inverters-in-a-package (SmartIPM). In terms of software, Infineon offers full turnkey solutions as well as freely programmable modules.
Designed for maximum flexibility and high performance, Infineon’s MOTIX™ IMD700A / IMD701A fully programmable 32-bit motor control SiP solutions and MOTIX™ 6EDL7141/ 6ED2742S01Q 3-phase gate driver ICs have an operating supply voltage between 5.5 V to 60 V. This makes them the ideal solution for brushless DC motor power tools that require fast and efficient charging solutions.
For DC motor control applications Infineon offers the MOTIX™ single half- and full-bridges IFX007 and IFX9201. MOTIX™ MCU | 32-bit motor control SoC solutions are a perfect solution for DC and BLDC applications where a small package form factor and a minimum number of external components are essential.
