Microchip IC'er specificeret til150°C
Microchip tilbyder nu et særdeles bredt program af IC'er, der er specificeret til brug ved op til 150°C ambient temperatur (in english).
Microchip announces a broad portfolio of semiconductors specified for operation up to 150°C ambient - including 8- and 16-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs); serial EEPROM devices, and analogue products.
Qualified and tested in accordance with AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements, the devices are optimum for under-the-hood automotive applications; extreme-environment industrial applications, such as down-hole oil drilling and lighting; and for medical applications such as devices that are sterilised in autoclaves.
Engineers can now add intelligence directly into high-temperature applications, where the silicon can be mounted directly onto high-temperature assemblies. This enables new applications for electronics that were not possible before. More information is available at Microchip’s new online High-Temperature Design Center.
With increasing market requirements for ICs specified for operation at temperatures greater than 125°C, Microchip’s portfolio of devices that are qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements address these market demands. With the largest and broadest portfolio of ICs for high-temperature applications, Microchip‘s high-temperature products enable better connectivity, more intelligent motor control, improved system efficiency and lower system cost when compared to mechanical, or previously-available electronic solutions.
The ability to mount silicon directly onto high-temperature assemblies means that Brushless DC (BLDC) motors can be used in place of mechanical, belt-driven actuators for water pumps, engine cooling fans, turbocharger waste gates, and throttle-control applications. This improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions by enabling intelligent use of more efficient, on-demand technology.
Sensors can now be placed directly into automotive gearboxes, engine-coolant systems and oil reservoirs. MCUs featuring CAN and LIN connectivity enable small footprints and efficient bus connections. The elimination of heat shields and extra wiring saves cost and complexity for industrial and automotive applications. Additionally, active electronics can be mounted onto sterile medical instruments and function during the autoclave sterilization process.
