TaiSiMicro releases China's first 3*3mm package that supports LIN automatic addressing automotive ambient light chip - TCPL010

Tinychip Micro recently announced the launch of the TCPL01x series of ambient light driver chips, of which TCPL010 is the first domestic 3mm*3mm package dedicated driver chip for automotive ambient lights that supports LIN automatic addressing. This is a series of dedicated MCU product layouts followed by TaiSi Micro's automotive grade signal chain MCU and automotive grade touch MCU chips. It also extends TaiSi's micro automotive grade product layout from sensing nodes to execution nodes. TCPL010 also fills the gap in the field of domestic small-package car-sized ambient light chips that support LIN automatic addressing. It has important application significance and strategic significance in the field of domestic automotive chips.

As the car consumer population becomes younger, the requirements for car intelligence and personalization of interior and exterior decorations are getting higher and higher. As an important part of improving the personalization of the cabin, car ambient lighting has become an increasing focus of major OEMs. , in addition to decorating the interior atmosphere of the car, ambient lights are also developing into practical functions such as information indication, music rhythm, emotional adjustment, and safety reminders. Models equipped with ambient lights are rapidly penetrating from mid-to-high-end to mid-to-low-end models.

The application scenarios of ambient lighting cover all parts of the cabin, including cabin surrounding ambient lighting, dashboard ambient lighting, center console ambient lighting, ceiling ambient lighting, door trim panel ambient lighting, door armrest ambient lighting, door warning ambient lighting, and switches. Door close indicator ambient lights, front door pockets, lights on armrest storage boxes, cup holder ambient lights, footlights, welcome pedals, welcome lights, etc.

TCPL01x is an innovative product independently developed by Taisilicon. It is optimized and designed based on automotive ambient light applications and commonly used drive solutions on the market. It strives to optimize costs while meeting performance requirements, and provides ambient light applications for mid-to-high-end models. The popularity of mid- to low-end models provides cost-effective solutions.

- Typical application of 2 RGB series connection -

● 3mm*3mm package : Automotive interior design requires thinness and lightness, and the space left for the RGB driver board is continuously compressed. The small package device provided by TCPL010 can meet the stringent requirements for the driver board size, providing a better solution for designs with limited interior space in cars. Great flexibility.

● Support automatic address allocation : TCPL01x supports the automatic allocation function of LIN node address. The address can be allocated on site according to the installation position of the driver on the body. There is no need for complicated configuration and debugging processes. The model of the driver board can be simplified, which facilitates production management and subsequent follow-up. maintenance. Supports the address allocation method of 1 ohm inside the chip or 0.2 ohm external parallel connection.

● RGB color control algorithm : TaiSi Micro provides RGB color control algorithm, including basic RGB light mixing algorithm, dynamic temperature compensation algorithm, fixed light attenuation characteristic compensation algorithm, and supports third-party calibration tools. Colorful lighting effects can be achieved. The ambient lights inside the car can freely switch and adjust the color, brightness and dynamic effects according to the driver's preferences and needs, creating a unique and comfortable atmosphere in the car.

● Low power consumption and high performance : TCPL010 adopts an advanced low-power design, which can reduce energy consumption while maintaining high performance, extend the life of car batteries, and improve energy utilization efficiency. This is of great significance to car manufacturers pursuing sustainable development and environmental protection.

TaiSi Micro's self-developed host computer tools can be combined with third-party calibration tools to achieve rapid product development and mass production.

TaiSiMicro is always committed to providing customers with innovative solutions and high-quality products. The release of TCPL01x will further promote the development of automotive ambient lighting technology, enhance the automotive interior lighting experience, and bring users a better driving and riding experience. At this point, Taisilicon can provide overall solutions for automotive human-computer interaction including capacitive touch, pressure-sensitive touch, cockpit environment monitoring and ambient light drive control, and is one of the few such chip suppliers in the world.

TaiSiMicro has opened its software and hardware platforms and various tools for chip evaluation, testing and production of TCPL01x, providing one-stop services. Welcome to request detailed information and information through sales@tinychip.com.cn .
