Automotive designers can select from more inductance values for power circuits in ADAS, infotainment, and other vehicle systems.
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has expanded its line-up of automotive-grade metal power inductors in the DFE2MCPH_JL series by adding nine new inductance values. The expanded line-up supports a wider range of circuit design requirements for automotive power circuits used in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), and other automotive electronic equipment. Mass production of the new inductors has already begun.
The new inductors are housed in a compact 0806-inch (2.0 × 1.6 mm) package and offer low DC resistance, high current capability, and a 40 V withstand voltage. They are also compliant with the AEC-Q200 automotive qualification standard, making them suitable for power circuits in increasingly sophisticated automotive electronics, including ADAS and IVI systems.
Automotive electronics designers and manufacturers can use these inductors when developing power circuits for ADAS, IVI, and other automotive electronic equipment. The nine additional inductance values give designers more options when selecting an inductor according to the power supply and circuit requirements of a specific application. This allows them to match the inductance value more closely to the requirements of each power circuit while working with a compact component that provides the required current and voltage capabilities.
The expanded range addresses the growing need for automotive power circuits that are smaller, more efficient, and have lower power loss. In recent years, the increasing performance and functionality of ADAS and IVI systems have driven this demand. At the same time, automotive applications have different power supply requirements, creating a need for a wider range of inductance values so that designers can select the most suitable inductor for each circuit.
By expanding the available inductance range, Murata provides greater flexibility in automotive power circuit design and helps designers select an optimum inductance value based on application and power supply requirements.
