Freescale Octal Serial Switch Family Brings Versatile Power Distribution to Automotive Electronics.Flexible Driver ICs for High- and Low-Side Switching Simplify the Design of In-Vehicle Body Control Module Systems AUSTIN Austin. 1 City (1990 pop. 21,907), seat of Mower co., SE Minn., on the Cedar River, near the Iowa line; inc. 1868. The commercial and industrial center of a rich farm region, it is noted as home to the Hormel meatpacking company, whose Spam Town museum , Texas -- Freescale Semiconductor Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. is an American semiconductor manufacturer. It was created by the divestiture of the Semiconductor Products Sector of Motorola in 2004. Freescale focuses their integrated circuit products on the automotive, embedded and communications markets. is bringing enhanced load control capability to designers of automotive driver instrumentation instrumentation, in music: see orchestra and orchestration. instrumentation In technology, the development and use of precise measuring, analysis, and control equipment. , body control modules and other in-vehicle electronics applications. The company's family of advanced MC338xx and MC3399x octal A numbering system that uses eight digits. It is used as a shorthand method for representing binary characters that use six-bits. Each three bits (half a character) is converted into a single octal digit. Okta is Greek for 8. serial switch integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. (ICs) is designed to manage control of multiple high-side loads, reduce board space and enhance automotive electronics system reliability. As body control module capabilities grow more sophisticated, automotive designers must develop electronic systems that can detect a variety of vehicle conditions and act quickly to control multiple loads across a wide range of body applications. Freescale's octal serial switch IC family provides the control flexibility designers need. The family is designed to control low-current on/off type inductive inductive 1. eliciting a reaction within an organism. 2. inductive heating a form of radiofrequency hyperthermia that selectively heats muscle, blood and proteinaceous tissue, sparing fat and air-containing tissues. loads, such as relays and solenoids, as well as LED indicators and small lamps with integral thermal and over-voltage, over-current protection. "Freescale's octal serial switch family is taking automotive power distribution to a new level of versatility," said Arman
Arman (November 17, 1928 - October 22, 2005), was a French-born American artist. Naghavi, vice president and general manager of Freescale's Analog, Mixed-Signal and Power Division. "As the need to control multiple DC loads grows increasingly common, the ability to configure See configuration. (software) configure - A program by Richard Stallman to discover properties of the current platform and to set up make to compile and install gcc. Cygnus configure was a similar system developed by K. multiple outputs quickly and efficiently has become a sought-after feature. Our serial switch family, with up to 16 outputs and advanced self-configuration capabilities, effectively addresses this technical challenge." Freescale's MC338xx and MC3399x devices reduce the number of necessary components and simplify body electronics designs, providing flexibility, load protection, and weight and size savings. Interior lighting control application solutions have typically employed multiple load-carrying switches (one switch for each lamp) or use discrete semiconductor power devices to power each lamp. Another common body application, power door locks, uses multiple electrical power door lock solenoids (one for each passenger door).
