Automotive Pumps
Solution for 12V electric BLDC motors for water, coolant, oil and fuel pumps
The Automotive market is increasingly demanding higher fuel efficiency, reduced CO2 emissions and improved reliability. The use of electric pumps, integrating or substituting mechanical ones, helps address these needs thanks to reduced friction hydraulic losses and power on-demand (i.e. the pump is actuated only when it’s really needed). A leading automotive supplier, ST offers a wide range of solutions satisfying increasing market interest.
This image shows an application example featuring the L99ASC03G, a highly integrated 3-phase motor pre-driver embedding:
- Voltage regulator to supply and supervise electronic control units
- A proprietary back-EMF detection algorithm allowing a sensor-less BLDC motor drive implementation
- Programmable gain current sense amplifier
- Simplified control and diagnostic thanks to SPI interface
This multifunctional system IC addresses several applications requiring brushless DC motor control:
- Electric water pumps
- Electric oil pumps
- Electric fuel pumps
- Electric coolant pumps
- Other electric circulation and booster pumps
