(San
Jose, CA) Automotive electronic
systems, are commonly referred to as, automotive electronics. The latter, are obviously found in
automobiles. Additionally, the tasks
that are performed through the automotive electronic system are not limited to;
engine management, ignition, radio, carputers, telematics, entertainment
systems and various other types of tasks that require electricity. In modern hybrid automobiles and electric
automobiles, the automotive electronic system does perform control tasks. As a result, of the previously said;
automotive electronic systems have increased in cost. In fact, this type of cost is considered to
be, a large component of an automobile’s manufacturing cost. In the year 2010, it was estimated that an
automotive electronic system accounts for 30%, of an automobile’s manufacturing
cost. Recently, Maxim Integrated
Products, Inc. announced that, it possesses a unique understanding of
automotive electronic systems.
Specifically, the aforementioned business revealed that, it has launched
an automotive display power management integrated circuit (I.C.). The latter, is named the MAX16923. Additionally, the MAX16923 is a highly
integrated power technology solution that, is meant for original equipment
manufacturers (O.E.M.s).
O.E.M.s when using Maxim’s MAX16923,
are now able to increase the quantity of monitor displays, inside the
automobile. Additionally and through the
design process; the design complexity is dramatically reduced, along with, the
size. However and returning to;
automotive electronic systems, the aforementioned and as previously said,
perform tasks. One of those stipulated
tasks is, entertainment systems. Under
the umbrella of automotive electronic systems; an automobile’s entertainment
system is responsible for the navigation system, the audio, the video and
information access. The latter, can also
be called the in-car entertainment, or, the infotainment system. An infotainment system, is a collection of
hardware and software, in automobiles.
The purpose is audio and/or video entertainment. Additionally, the modern infotainment system
does include some type of internet access, steering wheel placed controls and
voice activated controls.
Returning to, Maxim’s MAX16923, the
aforementioned is intended to replace four or five discrete integrated
circuits. Additionally, through this
process automotive designers can now design an approximated five monitor displays,
for use inside the automobile.
Furthermore, and as far as automotive designers are concerned; Maxim’s
MAX16923 is a 4 output display power I.C. with a watchdog timer. The overall idea, is to help automotive
designers, through, more available time.
The additional time can be spent on the design of advanced instrument clusters,
infotainment systems, heads up displays, center displays, rear seat
entertainment and smart mirror applications.
Continuing with, the MAX16923, the
aforementioned has four power rails.
These four power rails come with a high voltage buck converter, a low voltage
buck converter, a high voltage low drop-out regulator, a low voltage low
drop-out regulator, electromagnetic interference (E.M.I.) mitigation and a
watchdog timer all on one single I.C.
Overall, the MAX16923 is set apart by three key advantages. The three key advantages are; smallest
solution size, lower cost and low E.M.I.
In reference to, smallest solution size, the aforementioned necessitates
an important designation. This important
designation is, the industry’s first.
Specifically, the industry’s first automotive power management I.C. to
integrate five functions, into, one integrated circuit (I.C.). In reference to, lower cost, the
aforementioned is translated into a small size.
In other words, the lower cost is derived from an I.C. that is now
shrunken in size, by 50%. The latter,
also translates into a small P.C.B. size, and, an overall lower bill of
material costs (B.O.M.). In reference
to, low E.M.I., the aforementioned is a reduced E.M.I. interference. Specifically, a reduced E.M.I. interference,
of low noise signal to the display. This
is made possible by a spread spectrum, a slew rate controlled switching and a
programmable switching frequency.
Greg Basich is the Associate
Director of the Automotive Infotainment & Telematics Service at Strategy
Analytics. Through a press statement,
Mr. Basich said the following. “Growth
in the automotive display segment over the next five years will be strong as
OEMs increase the number and size of displays in cars. Some premium vehicles may have as many as 10
displays. In this environment, designers
are also grappling with the growing number of electronics they need to
integrate into cars as space constraints may limit this expansion.”
To end, Maxim Integrated Products,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) did release a press
statement. Szukang Hsien is the
Executive Business Manager of the Automotive Business Unit at Maxim Integrated
Products, Inc. Through a press
statement, Mr. Hsien said the following.
“By reducing the number of ICs needed to support each display, the
MAX16923 greatly reduces design complexity and board size issues. This highly integrated power solution along
with the MAX20069 TFT bias and LED driver are able to cover the power
requirements needed for 12.3 inch and smaller displays.” As previously stated, Maxim Integrated
Products, Inc. recently announced that, it possesses a unique understanding of
automotive electronic systems.
Specifically, the aforementioned business revealed that, it has launched
an automotive display power management integrated circuit (I.C.). The latter, is named the MAX16923. Lastly and additionally, the MAX16923 is a
highly integrated power technology solution that, is meant for original
equipment manufacturers (O.E.M.s).
