VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
- AEC-Q100 qualification provides enhanced reliability and quality of electronic components. Components meeting these specifications are often suitable for use in harsh automotive environments without the customer’s need for additional component-level qualification testing.
- Designed to provide reliable, consistent performance and a fast response time, enhancing efficiency in brushless dc motor (BLDC) applications.
- Designed to provide a wide supply voltage range and no chopper delay, allowing for potential use in a variety of applications.
- Designed to provide a clean output signal without the customer having to include additional circuitry to achieve noise suppression due to chopper stabilization.
DIFFERENTIATION
Honeywell’s VF360NTVF360NT and VF360STVF360ST AEC-Q100-qualified latching sensor ICs offer better performance than many competitive sensor ICs that employ chopper stabilization techniques
- Response time: Honeywell’s device provides a fast response time, enabling efficiency in BLDC motors.
- No noise generation: Honeywell’s device utilizes a resistor capacitor (RC) circuit to enable noise suppression required for chopper stabilized sensors.
POTENTIAL TRANSPORTATION APPLICATIONS
- BLDC motor commutation for automotive applications: Air input flap to engine, convertible roof position, electronic parking brakes, electronic window lifts and anti-pinch power window systems, HVAC blowers, headlights, power doors, mirrors and tail gates, seat motors, steering, windshield washers and wipers
- Speed and RPM sensing: Motors and fans; tachometer and counter pickup
- Flow rate sensing
