Automotive AFS motor drive scheme and application design points

In recent years, the electronic components of automobiles have been continuously improved, helping to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions, and enhance safety, lighting, in-vehicle networks and infotainment systems. Among them, car headlights are an important part of safe driving. ON Semiconductor's innovative and leading industry automotive adaptive headlamp system (AdapTIve Front-lighTIng System, AFS) motor drive solution overcomes the limitations of traditional headlamps and helps Improve driving safety. This article analyzes the characteristics of AFS, introduces the AFS solution of ON Semiconductor, and the application design points to help customers apply the automotive AFS solution.

Application Advantages and Working Principles of Adaptive Headlamp System (AFS)

The light of the traditional car headlights is always consistent with the direction of the car body. When the car turns, it cannot effectively illuminate the blind spot inside the curve. If there is a person or object inside the curve, and the speed is not properly lowered, it will bring safety hazards. As shown in Figure 1. In comparison, the AFS function provides a swiveling adjustment that rotates at the angle of the steering wheel to project an effective beam onto the front surface that the driver needs to see to help reduce safety hazards.

In addition to dynamic rotary adjustment, the AFS function provides dynamic level adjustment. This function adjusts the headlight level according to the signal of the load axis sensor, which can adapt to different loads and different slope environments. As shown in the right side of Figure 1, the above picture shows the effect of the AFS function on the light level under normal conditions. The middle picture shows the effect of the light up under the bumpy conditions of the car when starting or going uphill. The picture below is under braking or downhill conditions. The lighting level sinks the lighting effect. It can be seen that AFS can dynamically adjust the light height according to the horizontal tilt of the vehicle body to improve the lighting effect and enhance safety. The structure diagram of AFS working principle is shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, respectively.

Porcelain insulation

Porcelain Insulator is made of ceramic materials. The surface of porcelain is usually covered with enamel to improve its mechanical strength, waterproof and wet, and increase the surface smoothness. The combination of porcelain and other minerals allows current to pass without reacting with nearby electrical conductors. Ensuring greater safety, High Voltage Porcelain Insulators also allows current to pass without losing any power. There are several types ofHigh Voltage Porcelain Insulators and low volatage porcelain insulators : Switch Post Insulators, Din Insulators , Line Post Insulator , Station Post Insulator, Disc Insulator , Pin Insulator , Long Rod Insulator , Porcelain Bushing , Strain Insulator , spool insulator, Shackle Insulator and Telephone Line Insulator.

Porcelain insulators are used for high-voltage and low-voltage transmission lines and dielectrics produced by various electrical equipment to support and suspend overhead conductors to maintain sufficient insulation between conductors and conductors and between conductors and the earth. The installation height should be below 1000 meters. The voltage can reach 0.3kv-330kv. They have a higher leakage distance distribution and stronger compression.
