SAN JOSE, Calif., July 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- With a series of
power-management ICs (PMICs) from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MXIM), designers can optimize power for automotive
advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) functions to achieve high
performance, small size, efficiency, and electrical protection.

ADAS functions, many of which are now mandatory or will be soon,
increase vehicle safety and enhance the driving experience. These
features include smart braking for collision avoidance,
GPS/navigation, adaptive cruise control, lane centering,
lane-departure warning, and back-up/surround video. Although these
functions receive considerable design attention, managing DC power
in electrically harsh vehicle environments is a less-publicized yet
critical challenge for ADAS system designers.
Maxim's array of application-optimized ICs regulate, manage, and
protect DC power. These products solve critical problems for ADAS
systems designers by offering a unique combination of package size,
high operating efficiency, low quiescent current, integrated
ASIL-B/D electrical protection, and reduced EMI.
The series of PMICs which Maxim has released include:
- MAX20019 Dual Synchronous Step-Down Converter – Provides
the industry's smallest 3.2MHz dual step-down power supply in a
2mm x 3mm package size (compared to the closest competing
solutions that offer single channel parts in either a 2mm x 2mm or
3mm x 3mm package size)
- MAX20087 Quad Camera Power Protector – ASIL-B/D
grade camera module protector IC includes an I2C
interface to report on overvoltage/undervoltage/fault conditions;
monitors up to four 600mA coax channels and isolates faults from
individual camera modules
- MAX20075 and MAX20076 Step-Down Converters –
Offers the industry's lowest quiescent current with peak and valley
mode options; provides a high peak efficiency of 91% for always-on
applications compared to competing solutions, while featuring a
40-V load-dump tolerance
- MAX20014 Triple-Output Converter – Features one
synchronous boost and two synchronous step-down converters for
smaller, simpler, and lower cost designs (competing approaches
require two ICs plus discrete components); features 2.2MHz
switching frequency and spread-spectrum capability for reduced EMI
and comes in a small 4mm x 4mm package size
Commentary
- "As the automotive market moves towards offering more advanced
driving features, with a focus on ADAS functionalities, it has a
direct impact on the growth and demand for more advanced PMICs,"
said Kevin Anderson, senior analyst,
Power IC Research for IHS Markit. "We forecast that the total
market for power semiconductors (discretes, power modules and power
ICs) in automotive applications will increase from $7.9 billion in 2016 to more than $13.7 billion in 2023."
- "Designers must meet demanding requirements along with
difficult constraints, which standard catalog parts cannot do
effectively," said Warren Tsai,
director of business management for the Automotive Business Unit at
Maxim Integrated. "With this array of carefully-tailored,
application-specific ICs, Maxim is addressing the complex and
unique needs of ADAS designers."
