Providing semiconductor-based motor solutions that do not use relays

TI Korea will host the Automotive & Industrial Seminar at the Daegu Trade Center on November 30th. This event, which covers the latest technology trends in automotive and industrial applications, will showcase technology demonstrations and introduce key solutions to engineers working in the field.

We will introduce, with demos, the most essential 3-phase sensorless BLDC motor driver for engineers in the automotive and industrial fields, 3D time-of-flight (ToF) solutions for LIDAR implementation, and industrial signal chain solutions for test equipment. TI event organizers said that through this seminar, development engineers participating in the seminar will have a great opportunity to come up with the latest technology trends and innovative ideas.

Demo on Automotive Motor Drive

Inexpensive and simple-to-design relay motors are often used in automotive electronic systems such as sunroof modules, window lifts, power locks, power trunks, memory seats, compressors, and pumps. However, relays have limited lifespans and large solution sizes, making them unsuitable for advanced motor applications. For these reasons, the trend is toward quieter, smaller, and safer semiconductor ICs.

This offline seminar will provide explanations and demonstrations of these automotive motor solutions. In particular, the introduction of the 3-phase sensorless BLDC motor drive, which is widely used not only in vehicles but also in industrial fields, is expected to help in the development of new ideas and easy and fast device construction in the fields of vehicle electrical systems and industrial motor control.


What are the solutions for building autonomous driving and safe factory automation?

When it comes to autonomous vehicles, the biggest issue these days is LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). Its primary role is to quickly and accurately detect the surrounding environment and transmit relevant data to the central processing unit. LIDAR was a $300 million automotive market in 2016 and is expected to reach $1.9 billion by 2021, according to Strategy Analytics.


Additionally, in the field of factory automation, reference designs such as TI's Time to Digital Converter (TDC) are essential for object detection around conveyor belts in logistics centers and ensuring a safe distance around moving robot arms.

Currently, TI provides 3D ToF chipset solution with 2nd generation QVGA (320 x 240 pixel resolution), camera development kit and software for LIDAR development.A wearable development kit is also provided. To this end, the seminar to be held on the 30th will feature a demonstration and participation program where users can experience ToF with their own eyes.

In addition, we will introduce a demo of the IWR1443 single-chip solution for radar solutions that have been consistently applied up to Level 3 autonomous driving, an automotive LED lighting solution, how to use the online design tool (Webbench) provided free of charge to developers, and how to quickly find and use reference designs provided by over 2,700 experts.

Information on TI's Automotive & Industrial Seminar , which will be held on the 30th, can be received through pre-registration.
