ZMD AG ( ZMDI), an award-winning global semiconductor company headquartered in Dresden, Germany, and specializing in enabling energy-efficient solutions, today announces the ZAMC4100, an intelligent actuator and motor controller IC with integrated motor drivers.
ZMDI's ZAMC4100 addresses the growing demand for intelligent actuator/motor control in industrial, medical and automotive applications, and it is ideal for use where a small form factor is required or external components must be minimized. In a single compact 9x9mm QFN package, the ZAMC4100 integrates an ARM® Cortex-M0 microcontroller (trademark of ARM, Ltd.); eight power stages with integrated MOSFETs; SPI, UART and LIN2.1 communication interfaces; eight general-purpose digital input/output (I/O) pins; and four general-purpose analog inputs.
"The intelligent ZAMC4100 Actuator and Motor Controller IC with integrated motor drivers provides cost-effective solutions in a wide range of applications, such as industrial automation, building control, medical equipment, security systems and automotive applications," said Jan Leuckfeld, Product Manager at ZMDI. "For example, the ZAMC4100 provides a compact single-chip solution for the latest generation of automotive premium exterior mirrors. It controls the heater, LEDs and DC motors for mirror adjustment and folding, blind-spot detection, puddle light, defroster and turn signal."
Key Features of the ZAMC4100:
-- Embedded ARMr Cortex-M0 microcontroller -- Four integrated low RDSON half-bridge drivers -- Four integrated low RDSON high-side switches -- Wide input voltage range: 6V-18V (withstands load-dump conditions up to 40V) -- Embedded SPI, UART and LIN 2.1 interfaces -- Auto-dimming electrochromatic mirror feature -- Extensive fault protection and error handling -- AEC-Q100 qualified -- Compact 9mm x 9mm QFN packageApplications
-- Automotive applications -- Home appliances -- Medical equipment -- Security systems -- Industrial automationEvaluation kits and application boards are available including software development kit, GUI and hardware interface.
