Novel Voltage Monitoring ICs Increase Reliability of Car Infotainment

摘要

Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd. of the MinebeaMitsumi Group has developed and started producing the PST114 and PST122 Series high voltage reset ICs (voltage detectors) that withstand 40 V. The new series of ICs are best suited as battery voltage monitoring of car infotainment equipment. In car infotainment system, a reset IC monitors the voltage of vehicle battery and controls the system in accordance with changes of the voltage. With the diversification and high functionality of vehicles and car infotainment equipment, the demand for voltage monitoring has been increasing.
