This reference design uses multi-channel motor drivers (DRV8906-Q1 and DRV8873-Q1), a power switch (TPS1HB16-Q1), and an op amp-based (LM2904B-Q1) buffer circuit to drive 3 motors, 3 LEDs, an electrochromic load, and resistive heating element. Each of these devices was chosen to offer a combination of high integration for multiple loads and extreme flexibility to scale this design for the specific needs of the mirror assembly at hand. Pin-to-pin replacements are available for both DRV8906-Q1 and TPS1HB16-Q1, allowing the design to easily adjust for different current requirements or additional loads.
Additionally, the devices on this design feature extensive diagnostic and fault-protection features, including a combination of the following:
Each of these features are configurable based on the load protection requirements of the side mirror.
