Brushed DC motor driver IC highlights for automotive applications

Whatever you touch in a car, there is an electric motor close by. Brushed DC motors are easy to control and often serve as actuators with an overall short operating time. Torque control down to zero speed is easy to achieve. Typical applications are:

  • Body applications such as power seat modules, power closure systems, window lift, sunroof, mirror modules and wipers.
  • Powertrain and thermal management such as HVAC control modules, and engine cooling fans.
  • Safety relevant applications such as electronic parking brake, and electronic seatbelt pre-tensioners.

Brushed DC motor driver ICs offer high-performance solutions:

  • Advanced MOTIX™ multi MOSFET gate driver ICs to drive up to 16 external MOSFETs with the state-of-the-art protection features.
  • MOTIX™ single and multi half-bridge ICs, and full-bridge ICs, integrating driver stage and MOSFETs into one package with excellent diagnosis and protection features.
  • Innovative MOTIX™ motor system ICs (SBC) for BDC motor control integrating gate driver, power supply and communication.
  • With MOTIX™ MCU (SoC) Infineon offers in addition 32-bit motor control system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for BDC motors up to 3 kW.

BLDC motor control IC highlights for automotive applications

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors have less wear but need a complex control algorithm and, therefore, higher computing power than a DC motor drive. BLDC motors are most suitable for applications demanding long-term continuous duty. Typical applications are

  • Powertrain and thermal management such as HVAC compressor, auxiliary pumps, fuel pumps and engine cooling fans.
  • Safety relevant applications such as electric power steering, brake booster, and MHEV starter generator.
  • Body applications such as seat cooling and sunroof or front wiper

Infineon offers different BLDC motor driver ICs to meet customer-specific preferences:

  • MOTIX™ gate driver ICs for BLDC motor control for voltage domains ranging from 12 V to 48 V (up to ASIL D).
  • MOTIX™ motor system ICs (SBC) integrating gate driver, power supply and communication (LIN or CAN FD transceivers). 
  • With MOTIX™ MCU (SoC) Infineon offers in addition 32-bit motor control system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for BLDC motors up to 1 kW.
