The LIN Bus in Modern Automotive Headlamp Systems
ON Semiconductor has been supplying mixed signal integrated circuits for automotive lighting systems for over a decade. High-volume products include lamp-failure detection, contact-less sensor interfaces, HID (High Intensity Discharge) ballast drivers and stepper motor drivers. Modern automotive headlamp systems will rely heavily on the use of sensors and actuators in the near future. These remote sensors and actuators are connected to an electro...
Automatic HVAC Air Recirculation
This paper highlights the system requirements and operating conditions of automatic air recirculation valves and reviews compatibility of existing actuator types with these requirements. When comparing the available technologies, it becomes clear that air recirculation flap actuators containing a bipolar stepper motor offer key advantages over actuators with other motor types. It is shown how specific bipolar stepper motor drive techniques can ...
