Zone & body domain controller

Zone and body domain controllers are required to drive numerous loads from a single PCB requiring more PCB area for load driver ICs. By implementing compact load drivers the PCB size and layout can be better optimized. In addition to providing a small footprint, our load drivers provide scalable solutions enabling manufacturers to optimize driver channel count and features when needed for different variants of zone or body domain controllers. Get started optimizing your system with our motor drivers, smart high side switches, and LED drivers.

Smart high-side switches are replacing melting fuses in vehicles providing resetable outputs, configurable I2T settings and improved consistency across temperature. These features allow vehicle architects to implement configurable protection in localized zone controllers, reduce the length of wiring required from traditional fuse box implementations and reduce the wire gauge. Get started with our smart high-side switches with accurate current sense and intelligent diagnostics to implement accurate and reliable fuse replacement switches. 

Reliable and secure communication between electronic modules is critical to vehicle systems. As vehicle architectures evolve, the in-vehicle network and the types of communication protocols implemented in vehical electronic systems are also adapting to manage larger amounts of data. There is now more focus on high speed interfaces, reliability, and security to meet the latest system requirements and future plans for autonomous vehicles. Get started with our broad portfolio of LIN, CAN and CAN FD transceivers along with our Ethernet and redriver and retimer ICs to optimize your in-vehicle network.

Every zone or body domain controller has unique system power requirements. In addition, these requirements often change if there are multiple version of the module being produced potentially leading to higher costs for a module that implements a power solution exceeding the lower end version requirements. By having flexibility in your power solutions, each design can be carefully optimized across multiple variants. Get started with our extensive portfolio of power ICs from LDOs, DC/DC converters, PMICs and more that can help you cost optimize your power solution for your unique system requirements.
