– Nisshinbo Micro Devices has launched the NV3600 and NV3601 series, voltage detectors designed for automotive and industrial equipment.– The NV3600 allows for individually specified detection and release voltages, while the NV3601 enables simultaneous monitoring of under and over voltages.
Nisshinbo Micro Devices Inc. has introduced the NV3600 and NV3601 series as sophisticated voltage detectors for automotive and industrial equipment. The NV3600 can set individual detection and release voltages, enabling a wider hysteresis range than previous models. The NV3601 can concurrently monitor under and over voltages.
The demand for power supply voltage monitoring and safety performance in automotive and industrial equipment has grown with increasing sophistication. Existing voltage detectors often struggle to meet these requirements because of fixed hysteresis width or the need for multiple detectors to monitor under and over voltages, leading to higher power consumption.
The NV3600 and NV3601 series address these problems, enhancing system safety without increasing power consumption in voltage monitoring for automotive auxiliary batteries and AC/DC output voltage of industrial equipment.
With the NV3600 series, detection voltage can be set from 3.3 V to 19.8 V, and release voltage from 4.5 V to 22.2 V. The hysteresis width can be customized to match the voltage fluctuation range of the equipment, preventing false detection and release due to large voltage fluctuations.
The NV3601 series provides window monitoring, allowing simultaneous monitoring of under and over voltages. This single detector reduces component count, saves mounting space, and extends battery life by suppressing power consumption.
Both products achieve detection voltages with high accuracy of ±0.6% at room temperature and can directly monitor high voltages such as 12 V without external voltage divider resistors. They also offer a CMOS output type that does not require pull-up resistors, reducing dark current at low signal output. This contributes to power consumption measures for the entire system.
The NV3600 and NV3601 series’ high withstand voltage of the SENSE pin and CMOS output support reduce component count and dark current. The NV3600 series can set detection and release voltages individually and adjust hysteresis width, useful for monitoring power supplies with large voltage fluctuations. The NV3601 series offers window monitoring, simultaneously monitoring under and over voltages with a single product.
These advancements will significantly influence the electric vehicle industry by improving power supply voltage monitoring, safety performance, and reducing power consumption.
