The use of LED technology in automotive lighting is gradually improving, and makes the demand of devices required by LED lighting such as logic devices and MOSFET etc., to rise correspondingly. This text will introduce the solution of Nexperia on automotive LED lighting applications for you as a purchasing reference.
Nexperia provides complete solutions for automotive lighting applications
According to market analysis data, the global scale of automotive lighting market will grow from 22.4 billion dollars in 2015 to 27.7 billion dollars in 2021 with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.7%, among which, applications such as ambient lighting, adaptive front lighting system (AFLS), OLED screen and laser lighting etc., occupy a huge market share.
The front lights mainly adopt white and yellow LEDs that can be applied in high / low beam lights, daytime running lights, turning signals, fog lights and adaptive front lights (AFL). The rear lights are mainly red and yellow LEDs that can be separately applied in center high mounted stop lamps (CHMSL), taillights, turning signals and outline marker lamps etc. Automotive interior LEDs often adopt RGB multi-color lights such as footwell lamps, headliner lights, spotlights and side door lights etc.
Nexperia originates from Mullard Radio Valve Company founded in 1920, which was purchased by Philips in 1927. In 2006, Philips Semiconductor changed into NXP Semiconductor and Nexperia then officially became independent from NXP Standard Product Business Division in 2017. Nexperia concentrates on the production and marketing of discrete devices, logic devices and MOSFET, of which all the product fields take a leading position with the annual sales of 1.5 billion dollars (2018), global market share of about 14% (2018), annual production capacity of over 90 billion pieces and over 11,000 staff to provide global support for customers.
Nexperia provides one-stop shopping of discrete devices, logic devices and MOSFET with over ten thousand species of products. The product mixes are gradually increasing including popular traditional products and the most advanced innovation-type products. Over 800 new products are continually released each year including diodes and transistors, logic devices, ESD protective devices and MOSFET etc. All those products play an important role in the automotive lighting market.
Taking combined front lighting or adaptive driving beam module (ADB) as an example, it can be divided into controller, power supply, driver stage and LED string lights. Nexperia can provide automotive MOSFET one-stop service and possesses the extensive product mix of standard functions and the latest applications, being right for most automotive applications with multiple package strategies like LFPAK88, LFPAK56E, LFPAK56, LFPAK56D and LFPAK33 etc. In addition, it can obtain system success through MOSFET innovation, in which the key cost factor is the chip size. Adopting the new architectures supporting smaller chips is of vital importance for reducing cost and saving over 80% of the space in order to reduce system cost and module quantity. The benefit obtained is far beyond the module cost.
Nexperia launches automotive power MOSFET product series with various package modes and voltage classes. It can also be matched with various power MOSFET resistance as well as adopt various CFP package product series such as CFP package diodes and CFP Schottky diodes used for reverse battery protection, CFP package trench Schottky rectifier product mix and dual quick recovery and Schottky power diodes. With buck applications and small-signal MOSFET automotive product mix, it also changes the original MOSFET leaded package above 10mΩ into leadless package manner and launches DFN2020 150℃ automotive product mix to provide complete solutions for automotive LED lighting applications.
In addition, Nexperia also launches rear combination lighting and discrete solutions including high volume solutions of medium power transistors like general-purpose and low VCE(SAT) product series. New “T” and “H” solutions will be further launched for providing the solutions with cost competitiveness. Nexperia also adopts BCP package product series (150℃) including 1000 mW (SOT223), 950 mW (SOT89), 1100 mW (DFN3333), 1300 mW (LFPAK33) and 830 mW (DFN2020D-3) as well as cost optimized BCP53T and BCP56T series medium power transistors. What’s more, it supports 40V-100V and 2A-15A LFPAK56 and LFPAK56D high current transistor and high voltage transistor product mix as well as the popular DPAK package MJD series consumer and automotive products.
In the aspect of automotive interior lighting applications, it has constant current LED drivers, and all the devices have the PWM function. In addition, electric current mirror, differential amplifiers and comparators are applications benefiting from pairing bipolar transistors, which support various voltages, amps and package product mixes. It also launches diodes and transistors adopting the new package standard of dual DFN1412-6.
In the aspect of battery reverse polarity protection and surge protection, there are 4 options / power classes of PN rectifiers, Schottky rectifiers, P-Ch MOS and N-Ch MOS, LFPAK P channel product mix according with 175℃ AEC-Q101 standard, CFP Schottky used for reverse protection, new type SiGe technical rectifiers with benchmark performance, 200V fast recovery rectifiers as well as uni-directional TVS diodes with ISO7637-2 pulse and reverse battery protection.
Products used for LED string light control include logic / shifting registers, bipolar transistors (double) with wettable flanks DFN2020D-6 package and DFN2020D-3 package bipolar transistors (single). The main control unit has CAN-FD ESD protection series. Various solutions provided by Nexperia for automotive LED lighting market are your best choice for exploiting the automotive lighting market.
