DC motor controller handles smart actuators
01/04/2007 Email to a friend   Comment on this article
A highly integrated DC motor controller with embedded flash memory and CPU for automotive high current applications is intended to greatly simplify motor control, diagnostics and protection.



The MLX81100 from Melexis is the first of the new MelexCM family of automotive actuator ASSPs with embedded flash memory.

Safety critical high current DC motor actuator applications, like wipers, seatbelt retractor, steering column lock, electric brakes as well as pumps, heaters and blowers are expected to benefit from the microcontrollers.
