Ablic Launches S-191E Series Battery Monitoring ICs

ABLIC Inc., a group company of MinebeaMitsumi Inc. today launched the S-191ExxxxS Series of automotive high-withstand voltage window battery monitoring ICs.

The S-191ExxxxS Series of window battery monitoring IC products qualified for the automotive IC quality standard AEC-Q100 Grade 0. The AEC-Q100 standard classifies products into Grades 0 – 3 depending on their ambient operating temperature range. Grade 0 specifies products capable of operating in low temperatures down to -40°C and up to temperatures as high as 150°C. Since these ICs clear all stress tests for the different grades, ECU, EGR or other systems controlling an automatic transmission (AT) will provide high-reliability voltage monitoring even in harsh high temperature environments.

In addition, the S-191ExxxxS Series is housed in the ultra-small HSNT-8 (2030) (2.0 x 3.0 x t0.5mm) package and is a product that amply meets today’s ever-increasing need for smaller automotive devices.

Also, power consumption during operation of the S-191ExxxxS Series has been lowered to 0.9µA typ. The ICs operate directly from the battery to lower standby current making them ideal in systems that require continuous sensing. The S-191ExxxxS Series is also PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) capable.

This product series is MinebeaMitsumi Green Products which was certified as outstanding environmental contributing products.
