Overview
Description
The advanced seat controller is a compact and efficient automotive power‑seat design that delivers precise control of slide, recline, height, lumbar, and footrest adjustments. At its core is a low‑power MCU optimized for real‑time motor control, featuring capacitive touch capability for intuitive seat interaction.
High‑performance intelligent power device (IPD) drives the 3‑phase motors, providing integrated protection, diagnostics, and current‑sensing functions to ensure safe and reliable operation. Complementing this is a robust MOSFET used for efficient power switching with low conduction losses, enabling smooth, quiet, PWM‑based control across all seat movements.
System Benefits:
- The MCU offers exceptionally low power consumption, making it well‑suited for automotive applications that demand efficiency and long‑term reliability.
- The IPD provides high‑efficiency motor drive capability, combining strong power‑handling performance with integrated protection and diagnostic features.
- System‑level advantages include enhanced safety, improved energy efficiency, a compact overall design, and high durability under continuous operation.
- Working together, the MCU and IPD enable precise motor control, robust protection, and an elevated user experience, meeting modern automotive expectations for comfort, responsiveness, and reliability.
