ROHM, a world-renowned semiconductor manufacturer, has developed ISO 26262*1 and its ASIL-B*1 compliant in-vehicle camera modules (hereinafter referred to as "vehicle cameras"), which are increasingly used in products such as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). PMIC*2 BD868xxMUF-C (BD868C0MUF-C, BD868D0MUF-C).
The new products are able to meet stringent functional safety requirements, making it easier to design the safety required for next-generation vehicles equipped with ADAS. In addition, in a package of only 3.5mm x 3.5mm, 4 power supply systems (DC/DC*3: 3 systems, LDO*3: 1 system) required for in-vehicle cameras are built-in, and an abnormal Status notification mechanism, which can detect abnormal voltage and other conditions and give feedback through I2C. Among similar PMICs, the industry's smallest size has been achieved. Compared with previous products, three components can be reduced, and the installation area can be reduced by 25%, which contributes to the miniaturization of in-vehicle cameras.
In addition, a wider range of output voltage settings and timing control settings can be made to meet the different requirements of different CMOS image sensors of various manufacturers, helping to reduce development man-hours.
