In the future, the convergence of automotive and electronics will create a new and complex automotive system. Cars will become computers on wheels. To power more electronic control systems, Richtek has tackled automotive power design challenges to meet the expectations of high quality, reliability and safety.

Automotive power-supply architecture is constrained by severe conditions including extreme temperature fluctuations, critical input transient conditions, electromagnetic emissions and so on. Richtek’s automotive solutions are all AEC-Q100 standard qualified to ensure consistent product performance from -40°C up to 125°C. Our solutions with wide input range meet the ISO16750-2/ISO7637-2 international industry standard, providing stable and reliable voltage to handle engine cold crank profile down from 3V and load dump transients up to 60V. We solve EMI problems with the designs of external clock synchronization, spread spectrum and low-level radiation packages.

Building on long-term quality management, we can ensure the best quality control from the very beginning of product development all the way to monitoring shipment records of delivery. We have defined the Mission Profile for the assessment of real application robustness and implemented the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to ensure that potential problems have been considered and addressed during system operations. We will introduce the ISO26262 functional safety standard for product designs and the required development processes.

Partnering with MediaTek, we strive to develop robust solutions to power infotainment, telematics and ADAS systems for the electrified, connected and automated vehicles of today as well as tomorrow.

We have developed products featuring low quiescent current, low noise and high PSRR to enhance power solutions for telematics system requirement.

We have developed not only highly integrated PMICs for camera modules but also power management products for radar sensors that transmit or receive 77GHz/79GHz signals.

Our products meet a rigorous starting profile, designed to lower EMI interference in reliable wettable flank packages.

The RTQ2115A/C-QA and RTQ2116A/C-QA family is our new addition to the infotainment products as charging portable devices for when on the move becomes necessary. The RTQ2115/6 family is AEC-Q100 grade 1 qualified Type-A and Type-C charging port controller with DC/DC converter integrated IC. Supporting USB 2.0 BC1.2 SDP, CDP, DCP, divider 3 mode and 1.2V shorted mode to comply with the fast charging mode of mobile devices, this family provides the electrical signatures on D+/D- to recognise charging schemes.

The RTQ2115A/C-QA implements a wide-bandwidth data switch which helps users to simultaneously play high quality in-car infotainment while charging. Featuring spread-spectrum frequency modulation for reducing EMI and high frequency operation for reducing middle wave band interference, this family has complete protection features for VBUS short-to-Vbat and DS+/DS- short-to-Vbat. The RTQ2115/6 family is available in wettable frank packages to improve the CCD inspection during production and soldering reliability.
