Automotive Control

The Atmel® automotive electronic efforts are not only focused on large complex electronic systems, but also on smaller independent applications. Atmel builds on decades of experience in automotive electronic designs, and offers a wide range of uniquely tailored standalone solutions.

Features and Benefits

• The Atmel PWM high-side driver provides an economical solution for an electronic dashboard dimmer in the power-range of 20 to 70W.
• Timer ICs tailored to the interval and wipe/wash operation of windscreen wipers and optimized ones for power-saving applications, where high wattage loads are operated for a certain time only and subsequently switched off.
• Electronic flashers with lamp-outage detection are standard in all new vehicles. Atmel, a market leader in this area, offers a broad portfolio of dedicated flashers that meet manufacturer requirements for direction indication and hazard warning.
• Control of the brake lights and the less noticeable lighting functions such as parking lights, license plate lights, and backup lights is often problematic; however, the Atmel solution, using lamp-monitoring ICs enables reliable display of malfunctions even when the vehicle is in motion.
