The growth of highly sophisticated automotive applications requires
microcontrollers that operate with low power and high current. This
increases the need for power supply IC incorporating DC-DC convertors
with the high electrical efficiency required to reduce overall power
consumption. The“TB9043FTG” integrates two channels of DC-DC converters
and two channels of low noise series regulators, and can drive
microcontrollers that require a 1A class large current load.
The IC
also integrates a wide variety of monitoring functions and outputs
monitoring status, which helps to contribute to improved safety of
automotive applications, under “ISO26262”, the increasingly important
standard for automotive functional safety.
Key Features of the New Product
1. Built-in 2 channels of DC-DC converters (1
output)
One Dc-DC converter generates 6V power supply from a
car battery; and the other converter generates 1.2V, 1.5V or 3.3V
(selectable) for the microcontroller core from the 6V supply.
2. Built-in 2 channels of series regulators (2
outputs)
The two series regulators independently generates
5V supplies out of 6V supply from DC-DC converter: 400mA current
capacity is used for the microcontroller, and 100mA current capacity is
used for a sensor or other interface.
3. Integrated monitoring functions
The
product incorporates dual circuits for overheating detection and
overcurrent limiter to secure continued operation in the even one
circuit malfunctions.
The IC also integrates output voltage
detector, and terminal for monitoring normal frequency.
4. Small package
The product adopts
small HQFN52 package.
