Wiper module

Block diagram

Overview

Our integrated circuits and reference designs for automotive wiper modules accelerate your design using high-performance motor drivers for brushed or brushless direct current (BLDC) motors to provide intelligent drive capabilities with enhanced diagnostics for robust motion control systems.

Design requirements

Wiper module designs require:

  • Position and velocity control for multi-speed operation with stall detection.
  • Low-power dissipation while driving high-current loads.
  • Minimal conducted and radiated emissions.
  • Accurate rain detection for automatic operation.
