MOTIX FAMILY OF FULL-BRIDGE ICs FOR SMART BRUSH DC MOTORS To address the demand for more reliable, energyefficient, and cost-effective semiconductor solutions that can work effectively under harsh conditions, Infineon introduces the MOTIX Bridge BTM90xx, a family of fullbridge/H-bridge integrated circuits (ICs) specifically designed for brushed DC motor applications. BTM90xx devices are optimized for automotive applications such as door, mirror, seat, body, and zone control modules. The BTM90xx family is characterized by a high functionality to enable intelligent tiny motor control solutions. The devices have a supply voltage range of 7 to 18 V for normal operation (extended range of 4.5 to 40 V) and offer extensive protection and diagnostic functions such as overtemperature, undervoltage, overcurrent, cross-current, or short-circuit detection. Currents are measured for both the high-side and low-side switches and the devices are Himax Technologies Inc., supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and other semiconductor products, have jointly debuted a next-generation AR optical module. The debut features Himax’s ultra-luminous, miniature Dual-Edge Front-lit color LCoS microdisplay seamlessly integrated with Vuzix’s production-ready optical waveguides. Together, the technologies form a fully integrated module that delivers breakthrough brightness and power efficiency in an unparalleled compact design, enabling sleek, lightweight AR glasses for both enterprise and consumer applications. This co-design initiative, scheduled for commercial release at the end of 2025, focuses on optimizing optical performance to deliver industry-leading visual quality. Himax’s innovative and proprietary Dual-Edge Front-lit color LCoS microdisplay sets a new industry benchmark with a volume of just 0.09 cc, weighing less than 0.2 g, yet capable of delivering 1 lumen of output and up to 350,000 nits of luminance, all while consuming no more than 250 mW total power consumption. This ensures exceptional eye-level visibility across diverse lighting environments. Vuzix’s mass production optical waveguides elevate the visual experience with a slim 0.7 mm thickness, industry-leading mass at less than 5 grams, minimal discreet eye glow below 5%, and a 30-degree diagonal field of view (FOV). Fully customizable and integrationready for next-generation AR devices, these waveguides support prescription lenses, offer both plastic-substrate and higher refractive-index options, and are engineered for cost-effective large-scale deployment.
