Driver Monitoring Systems
Driver Monitoring Systems Content
Description
Driver monitoring systems are one of the latest developments in automotive safety technology. As part of a holistic human-machine interface (HMI), driver monitoring systems track vital sign parameters and driver attentiveness, so that in the event that the driver is unable to operate the vehicle, assistance can be provided. Of course, advanced new features add design complexity and additional considerations for the engineer. Because safety is always the top priority, these components must meet strict EMI and temperature requirements so that consumers and manufacturers can feel confident in improved comfort and convenience while minimizing driver distraction.
Our top-performing catalog of automotive-grade solutions includes power modules, PMICs, step-down converters, and linear regulators. These components pack top-tier flexibility and efficiency into a small package size, saving cost and board space to improve time-to-market.
MPS’s reliable, cost-effective power management solutions provide everything you need to power the next generation of driver monitoring systems.

RECOGNITION AND ELIMINATION OF SUBHARMONIC OSCILLATIONSDC/DC instability occurs due to a variety of factors, such as improper compensation parameters or insufficient layout. This article will discuss subharmonic oscillations, a form of instability that can be generated when current mode switching regulators have a continuous inductor current and a duty cycle exceeding 50%. These oscillations then create unstable power supplies. To learn about subharm...

EVALUATING THE TRANSIENT PERFORMANCE OF BUCK REGULATORS WITH AN INTEGRATED COMPENSATION NETWORKDesigning the compensation network for buck regulators can be tedious and may require several iterations to optimize the solution. Having an optimized control loop, which can enable fast transient response while maintaining proper stability, has become a major challenge with the emergence of new applications such as ADAS and fast transient response requirements. To address these issues, buck regul...

USING EXTERNAL KNOBS TO IMPROVE TRANSIENT PERFORMANCE OF BUCK REGULATORS WITH AN INTEGRATED COMPENSATION NETWORKThe high power density requirement and board-level space constraints in modern applications — such as lighting, ADAS, and USB — call for higher integration in buck regulators. There is a trend to integrate MOSFETs and compensation networks inside the chip. This integration of the compensation network’s passive components saves cost, board space, and design iterations. However, it...
