ICs ideal for Telematics Control Unit
1. Overview
A Telematics Control Unit (TCU) is an automotive ECU handling bidirectional communications between a vehicle and the outside world. A TCU enabling V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communications is essential in a connected car. TCU-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 TCU, 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 TCU.

Step-up Controller S-19990 series
Low voltage operation
Low noise
Low current consumption
Ideal for emergency backup battery
The S-19990 Series is the industry’s lowest operation voltage of 3.0V for a 36V operation step-up switching regulator controller. It can also boost voltage even with low-voltage capacitors/batteries, making the emergency backup battery more compact and reducing costs.

LDO regulator S-19700/1 series
With current monitor
Reverse current protection
This single IC detects power supply faults, ground faults, open faults and a number of other connection faults
The IC can diagnose GNSS antenna connection status. A current monitor function for diagnosing the load connection status is integrated and the current limit value can be freely set using the external resistance. It can also be used as a charging circuit for backup batteries.
LDO Regulator S-19246 series
High output current
LDOs ideal for powering communication modules
This 10V input, 2A output LDO regulator comes with a built-in soft start function. The S-19246 Series of LDOs can output 2A making them ideal for supplying power to communication modules whose current requirements fluctuate with the reception environment.
