such as electric sunroofs, windshield wipers, electric windows and adjustable seats, in order to optimize the prototyping phase.
Focused on performance, flexibility, and ease of integration, the AEC-Q100 (Grade 1) compliant SmartMCD meets ASIL-A requirements. It includes robust safety features such as built-in fault detection for overcurrent (low-side and high-side controllers), overvoltage, undervoltage, and thermal shutdown protection.
The device features an integrated microcontroller (MCU) with an Arm® Cortex®-M0 core. It also integrates 16 kB of RAM and 192 kB of Flash memory, with an additional 16 kB of Data Flash, all with error correction code (ECC) for single error correction and double error detection (SEC/DED).
The SmartMCD device integrates four low-side relay drivers, enabling forward and reverse control of two brushed DC motors when using single-pole, two-way (SPDT) relays. It also includes two high-side drivers to support 5V and 12V loads to external components, a LIN transceiver for in-vehicle communication, and a fully integrated power management system that generates all necessary voltage levels from the car's battery.
The compact design of the SmartMCD TB9M001FTG board, measuring 130 mm x 73 mm, includes all the circuitry necessary for motor control and operational testing, including multiple configurable general-purpose inputs/outputs (GPIOs) with various connection options selectable via jumpers. An integrated debugger, compliant with the CMSIS-DAP embedded emulator standard, allows for operation, testing, and debugging of the target device right out of the box.
