Alps has added two new products to its magnetic sensor portfolio to support the continued electrification of vehicles. The devices build on the company's track record in steering Angle detection and electronic shifters for the automotive market.
Alpha and Omega's regulators feature multiple protection features such as output overvoltage protection, short circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. EZBuck's extensive line of high-efficiency synchronous regulators offers several pin-compatible families with similar functions and various current levels to simplify the power supply design process. Several families are available in QFN 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, DFN 3x3, TSOT23-6L and EPAD SO-8 packages, making them ideal for industrial, telecom and networking equipment.
Alpha and Omega Semiconductor LTD has introduced a new coil driver for the home. AOZ32033AQI offers 30V, 11mOhm QFN3x3 package. It is an integrated half-bridge gate driver capable of driving high - and low-side N-channel MOSFEts. The solution has a highly integrated package that reduces the number of parts by up to 40% compared to traditional methods.
Alpine has developed an ECU for manual detection to aid the autopilot system by identifying changes in the driver's grip strength on the steering wheel. Vehicles equipped with these features need to detect and assess the driver's driving conditions to ensure safety, and can even switch between automatic and manual driving
