ICs ideal for Telematics Control Unit

1. Overview

A Telematics-Box (T-Box) is an automotive ECU handling bidirectional communications between a vehicle and the outside world. A T-Box enabling V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communications is essential in a connected car. T-Box-equipped vehicles can provide functions such as emergency call (eCall), which is mandatory in Europe, OTA (Over the Air), which is used for maintenance and information updates, receiving traffic information and tracking stolen vehicles.
A T-Box, the device enabling “Connected”, the “C” in the “CASE” acronym, requires stable communications.
ABLIC’s lineup includes the industry’s smallest connection diagnosis ICs for supplying power to GNSS antenna amplifiers, LDOs that supply clean power to communication chips, backup RTCs (real-time clocks) and the industry's lowest current consumption LDOs ideal for powering backup RTCs. ABLIC provides a number of ICs ideal for a T-Box.

4. Features

LDO Regulator S-19255 series
High PSRR
Ultra-compact package

Automotive, 125°C Operation, 5.5 V Input, 300 mA Voltage Regulator S-19255 Series

High PSRR helps shrink T-Box size!!

The industry's smallest package uses 1.0mm square HSNT-4(1010)B, and small capacitors can be used. It can also be provided in a standard SOT-23-5 package. In addition, the IC delivers high PSRR over a wide frequency range dispensing with the need for noise eliminating circuits.

LDO Regulator S-19310 series
Ultra-low current consumption

Automotive, 125°C Operation, 36 V Input, 40 mA Voltage Regulator with Reset Function S-19310 Series

Industry's lowest current consumption reduces T-Box standby current

This LDO regulator offers a 36V input, 40mA output, a reset function for monitoring the output voltage of internal LDO regulators and an ultra-low current consumption of 2.2μA (typ.), and is used as a timer IC power supply to create a backup timer with ultra-low current consumption. These features combine to contribute to lowering T-Box standby current.
