Respirators are critical equipment in hospitals everywhere, providing stability to patients in need. The technology that powers them needs to be durable, precise, and easy to use. This article explores position sensors, latch & switch solutions and motor drivers from Melexis for your next respirator project.
Position Sensors
- MLX90380: Fast pre-programmed magnetic resolver IC
- Ideally suited to automotive applications as well as other applications that need fast position readouts.
- MLX90421: Triaxis® mainstream rotary & linear position sensor (analog/PWM)
- Magnetic position sensor suited for demanding but cost-conscious automotive applications. It supports rotary or linear motions of the magnet, with analog or PWM output.
Latch & Switch Solutions
- MLX92214: 3-wire general-purpose latch
- Designed for DC/BLDC motors, specially adapted to power tools, PCs, servers and home appliance applications.
- MLX92215: 3-wire Hall-effect sensor IC (2nd Gen)
- Designed in mixed signal CMOS technology for industrial, medical, and consumer applications.
Motor Drivers
- MLX90411: 1A single-coil fan driver for 5V/12V/24V/32V
- Low-noise all-in-one single-coil fan driver IC with a 1 A drive capability, suitable for any fan, blower or pump application.
- MLX90412: 2.2A single-coil fan and pump driver
- Low-noise all-in-one single-coil fan-/pump driver, with a 2.2 A drive capability.
