Roma released LED vehicle taillight special drive IC "BD8372HFP-M"

Days ago, semiconductor manufacturer Rom Corporation led launch vehicle taillight special driver IC "BD8372HFP-M", the new products in the output power of the 200mA, compared with the previous LED drive, output current is increased by about 3 to 5 times, at the same time will affect the control precision of output current is + 3% LED brightness, so as to realize the a substantial increase in accuracy. Due to significantly improve the precision of output current, increase the tolerance of the LED error, taillight assembly process yield is greatly improved. Have driven the source node drive mode, line driver IC circuit board and LED circuit board, and 2 compared to the previous synchronization modes, down to 1, can easily open / short circuit detection of vehicle use required. In addition, when the tail lights and brake lights when the brightness (current) can be set free of independent current settings, etc., to a large extent facilitate the design of the vehicle taillight. By the P-BUS function and LED open / short circuit detection protection function to achieve fault safety function is also more substantial. Is scheduled to start in March 2011 to provide new samples (price: 300 yen / only), and in June 2011 of the tentative monthly output of 50 thousand sets of the scale of production. The production base is scheduled for the early stages of operations in Rohm and Light Co., Ltd. (Okayama county), the latter in ROHM Integrated Systems (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Thailand). In addition, the development of new products set up a dedicated production line for automobile market, to ensure the implementation of the comprehensive strength of the high reliability high quality and high reliability can be achieved. Rom is considering a significant expansion in the future market, will seek to further strengthen the LED drive IC products in the automotive market in the automotive products.
