Adaptive LED Lighting Applications

Diodes Inc. Adaptive LED Lighting Applications are in high demand for lighting in vehicles, including ambient mood lighting, illuminated sill plates and puddle lighting as relatively recent additions. Elegant lighting design, where effects like dimming and fade-in/fade-out are required, need a dimmable device. The LED Drivers with switching regulators allow the maximum overall efficiency with the highest degree of control and accuracy. Simple LED lighting solutions can be implemented with a series resistor, however this has numerous disadvantages in an automotive environment. The LED output will vary with voltage during stop/start events, and VF matched LEDs may be required for visual matching. LED lifetimes may be reduced due to uncontrolled current spikes. Diodes LED Drivers conquer these issues simply and cost-effectively, with a small footprint.

Automotive Applications

Diodes Inc. Automotive Parts have a wide portfolio of automotive-compliant analog, discrete and timing products. The Automotive Parts offer a broad range of solutions for various automotive applications, including BLDC, Adaptive LED Lighting, and Connected Driving.

Connected Driving Applications

Diodes Inc. Connected Driving Applications address issues such as finding a parking space, adaptive navigation through busy streets, or using technology to avoid congestion on major roads between cities, along with increasing driver and pedestrian safety. The ultimate objective is the fully autonomous car, which can only be enabled through high-speed data communications. Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications include Vehicle-to-Car, -Pedestrian, -Device and -Grid – fuelled by increased ADAS functionality. The volume of data being generated, transferred and processed within the car is increasing exponentially. Reliable high-speed data communications will be a part of every new vehicle’s infrastructure. Diodes Inc. offers the products to realize the vision of the fully autonomous, connected vehicle.

Automotive Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor Applications

Diodes Inc. Automotive Brushless DC (BLDC) Motors offer improved performance, longer lifetime, reduced noise and greater ease of use when compared to equivalent mechanical solutions. Within the BLDC Motor Systems, MOSFETs are typically configured in a three-phase bridge arrangement to drive the DC motor. The MOSFETs must be capable of handling start-up and stalled motor currents of up to six times the continuous current rating of the motor. The BLDC Motors are extensively used in automotive applications such as fuel pumps, water pumps, Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS), and provide additional torque for power steering systems.
