➀ The AL8866Q is an AEC-Q100 (Grade 1) qualified DC-DC converter controller for automotive front lights like headlights. It can implement buck, boost, buck-boost, or SEPIC topologies and operates from 4.7 to 85V. ➁ It offers analog and PWM dimming with a 100:1 range and ±12% output current accuracy at 20% dimming. ➂ It features soft-start, open-drain output for fault indication, and cycle-by-cycle current protection.

➀ Diodes Inc. introduces the AP74700Q, an automotive ideal diode capable of handling ±65V input with a forward voltage drop of only 20mV. ➁ The device operates from 3.2V (3.9V at start-up) and uses a charge-pump to drive an external n-channel MOSFET for low forward voltage. ➂ It includes reverse current protection, turning off the MOSFET within 750ns when a reverse current is detected, and operates in ambient temperatures from -40 to +125°C.

1. The AH3712 is a latching Hall-effect magnetic sensor designed for automotive electrical conditions, available in various packaging options. 2. It switches 'on' with a magnetic pole above a certain flux density and 'off' with the opposite pole of the same magnitude. 3. The sensor operates from 3.0 to 27V and is protected against load-dump up to 40V, with operation temperature range from -40 to +125°C.
