Macroblock announced its new generation LED automotive lighting driver ICs, MBI6659Q and MBI6665Q. The two new products are suitable for the application of intelligent automotive lighting.
Macroblock LED automotive IC product line can be divided into two categories, the first is the automotive display, and the other is the automotive lighting.
Both MBI6659Q and MBI6665Q are categorized as automotive lighting.
– The applications of MBI6659Q include fog lights, tail lights, brake lights, ambient lights, position lamp and DRL. Its current rating is 2.5A. MBI6659Q is a high-current version, providing flexible design options to customers, and owns LDO (Low Dropout Regulator), which means that this driver IC can directly supply MCU voltage, so that the MCU does not need an additional power supply. This allows the layout of this automotive lighting power system is cleaner and neater.
– The applications of MBI6665Q include headlights, tail lights, brake lights and DRL. This driver IC supports multi-topology DC/DC power management to assist customers to design their products. Same as MBI6659Q, MBI6665Q owns LDO, which can supply MCU voltage and make the layout of the power system tidy. It also features EMI solution to eliminate EMI. MBI6665Q also has OTP (Over Temperature Protection) and OCP (Over Current Protection) to ensure adequate safety provision.
