Product Advantages

Expanded Available Voltage Range
By expanding the available input voltage range, the switching circuit is given extremely short on and off times. The power management devices can operate within a voltage range as low as 3V and as high as 60V, easily handling voltage fluctuations caused by engine starting and load shedding.

Reduced Standby Current
Minimizing the quiescent power consumption and striving to reduce battery power consumption can significantly extend the standby time.

Enhanced Assembly Reliability
Richtek offers various product packaging forms, including the WET-QFN package with excellent wettable flanks, which can effectively improve soldering reliability and facilitate the automatic optical inspection of soldering results.

Exceeding Standards
Richtek has developed a Mission Profile for the product design, manufacturing, and verification processes, making every effort to enhance product reliability.

Product Applications

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
ADAS are safety systems that assist vehicle drivers during driving and parking phases. They typically include various advanced sensors such as cameras and radars. Richtek can provide power management devices such as PMICs, DC/DC converters, linear voltage regulators, and power switches for these devices.

Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
Connected and autonomous vehicles are a new generation of vehicle systems that take vehicles as the main body and nodes, integrating modern communication and network technologies to enable vehicles to share information and achieve coordinated control with external nodes, aiming for safe, orderly, efficient, and energy-saving driving. Richtek can provide corresponding power management solutions for various sensors, actuators, and communication devices.

Digital Cockpits
The intelligent cockpit is a place that enables the safe operation of vehicles and provides a perfect environment for mobile office work, as well as life and entertainment. All kinds of sensors and actuators for vehicle control, human-machine interaction devices, information receiving and sending devices, and processing units are concentrated here. Richtek continuously develops suitable and easy-to-use devices according to the needs of various devices to meet their requirements.

Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles are transportation means powered by electricity, and they come in various specifications due to different uses and designs. Richtek develops simple and easy-to-use power management solutions according to different needs, ensuring that all kinds of devices can receive reliable power supplies.
