NOVOSENSE Expands Its SafeNovo® Solutions for Automotive Safety Standards

NOVOSENSE Enhances SafeNovo® Portfolio

In response to the increasing complexity of automotive technologies, especially with the rise of electric and intelligent vehicles, NOVOSENSE is making significant strides in the functional safety domain. Their latest offerings, which expand the SafeNovo® portfolio, reflect a commitment to meeting industry standards and enhancing safety across various automotive applications.

The Importance of Functional Safety

As vehicles become more sophisticated, functional safety has gained paramount importance in automotive systems. ISO 26262 has emerged as the go-to standard for ensuring the safety of these applications. For powertrain systems, NOVOSENSE has introduced the NSI6911F isolated gate driver, which not only meets the rigorous TÜV Rheinland ISO 26262 ASIL D standard but also integrates advanced features for optimal performance. This driver is designed for critical components like traction inverters and onboard chargers, offering up to 19A peak drive capability and advanced protection features to enhance reliability in high-frequency operations.

Broader Applications Beyond Powertrain

However, NOVOSENSE's innovations are not limited to powertrain systems alone. The company also offers solutions for other critical automotive applications. The ASIL B NSUC1800 ultrasonic sensor interface supports various advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with noise-resistant signal processing and diagnostic capabilities. For lighting applications, the NSL21912/16/24FS linear LED driver family provides control for up to 24 channels, ensuring various automotive lights operate safely and efficiently.

In the realm of chassis applications, the NSM41xx AMR wheel-speed sensor family adheres to ASIL B(D) criteria, enabling accurate speed detection crucial for systems like anti-lock braking (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC).
