At this year's electronica in Munich, Elmos will present ultrasonic and sensor signal evaluation ICs as well as the latest generation of approach and gesture recognition. Elmos is the world market leader for ultrasonic parking assistance systems as well as for optical proximity detection and gesture control in the vehicle. You will find us in the Automotive Hall (Hall B4, Booth 439).
With the ICs E524.08 and E524.09 Elmos presents another ultrasonic IC family for the ultrasonic parking assistance systems in the vehicle. Furthermore, these ICs can be used for general distance measurements in industrial applications (industrial robots, silo level detection, etc.). During the development of these ICs special focus was placed on an optimal range detection. Thus, the revised signal path currently allows distance measurements between 10cm to 600cm. With optimized system hardware and good environmental conditions, even longer distances are possible.
Elmos introduces the E520.47, a sensor signal processing IC with SENT interface that supports the simultaneous signal processing of two resistive sensor bridges. The IC has been specially developed for the requirements of automotive applications. The IC was developed in accordance with ISO26262 in order to be able to meet safety requirements in the system up to ASIL C. Possible fields of application are brake, sensor, MEMS p sensor applications and the evaluation of resistive bridge sensors.
With the ICs E909.21 (controller) and the E909.22 (conditioner), Elmos presents a solution for optical proximity and gesture recognition in the car. The two components have been specially developed for use in larger automotive displays. The ICs are a perfectly coordinated solution for the precise interaction with the user interface (GUI) of the multimedia unit. The following actions are detected: Approach, Swipe, Air Slider™, Magnification, and more. The object recognition and motion evaluation function in real time on the basis of a functional and cost-optimized infrared technology (HALIOS®). Elmos is a pioneer in gesture recognition in the vehicle and the No. 1 in the world for this application. One reason for this is the best ambient light immunity available on the market and the automatic system calibration of the HALIOS® principle. In addition, many features have been integrated to simplify system design and sensor design, making the devices a plug-and-play solution tailored to the application. The E909.21 is used by well-known OEMs in various vehicle models in series.
