The S-19701 Series of diagnostic ICs is ideal for diagnosing the connection status of automotive cameras, V2X antennas and other devices.
Key features of the S-19701 Series

• Built-in LDO functions such as high output current of 600mA and a high accuracy output voltage of ±2.3%.
• Can be used as a high side switch.
• The current monitor function allows the MCU to diagnose whether devices are operating normally or are open and finds the presence of short to ground and short to power supply faults.

This single chip can handle connection diagnosis and power supply of automotive cameras, antennas and a variety of applications even as they are becoming more multifunctional.

In addition to the LDO regulator function and connection status diagnosis function, three protection circuits are built in to offer thermal shutdown, adjustable current limit and reverse current protection functions. It also has an overvoltage detection circuit.

Thanks to a simple circuit configuration, the S-19701 Series improves safety of automotive devices with on-chip protection functions

The S-19701 Series can diagnose antenna connection status (open, normal and short to ground and short to power supply faults) by using the MCU to monitor CSO pin voltage.

Since the value of the external resistor can be changed, the current limit can be set as required. This means connection diagnosis and current limit can be set to accommodate the load of connected devices.
