IC detect malfunctions to meet ISO 26262
4 November 2013 The TB9042FTG incorporates multiple monitoring functions that detect any malfunctions of the IC and external microcontrollers, meeting the requirements of ISO 26262, the international standard for Road Vehicles & Functional Safety, to monitor the functions of power supply ICs. It also integrates a transmitting function that transfers data on monitoring status to an external microcontroller.Integral, electrically efficient DC/DC converters reduce power consumption, says the company. In two-channel versions, one converter steps down
