KEC (CEO, Hwang Changseop) announced that it has launched the new KIC3244F00 series of automotive LDO (Low Drop Out) voltage regulators.
The LDO voltage regulator is a power semiconductor that supplies the irregular power signal of automobile as stable signals. The new product provides an adjustable output voltage from 1.2V to 5.0V depending on the circumstances, and is optimized for automotive infotainment systems and can be applied to car audio and navigation systems.
The product is applicable to small ceramic capacitors instead of the conventional large electrolytic capacitors, reducing the PCB design area, and is equipped with various circuit protection functions such as OTP (Over Temperature Protection) and OCP (Over Current Protection). In addition, it acquired the AEC-Q100 certification, an automobile electronic certification standard, and is available to be used for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), a core technology for autonomous driving.
The product will be installed on new vehicles of Russia's largest automakers upon release, and in addition to the new LDO product, 16 other KEC products will be supplied and installed in the vehicles.
After the announcement of the mid- to long-term plan, ‘Vision 2025,’ KEC has been committed to develop, release and solutionize new power semiconductor products endeavoring to achieve its goals for various markets and customers including automotive electronics, home appliances, 5G industry and new renewable energy.
