As the “brain” of the vehicle’s safety system, this module translates real-world sensor inputs to action – alerting the driver or assisting with unsafe situations. Maxim provides reliable analog ICs that enable required Automotive Safety Integrity Levels, up to ASIL-D.

With the advent of autonomous driving capability, it is imperative to ensure that the driver is alert and ready to take over at a moment’s notice. DMS also provides drowsy driver detection, a significant safety enhancement that can save lives. Maxim Integrated’s GMSL and IR-LED drivers enable world-class DMS system designs, further enhanced by our automotive power, supervisory, protection and authentication solutions.

With long-range, high-resolution detection of an object’s position and distance through time-of-flight measurement, LiDAR significantly improves the input quality to the ADAS ECU–resulting in safer decisions. Our optical TIA, signal chain, power and protection solutions are ideal for LiDAR module designs.

Utilizing a network of ultrasonic sensors, this system provides feedback to the driver for safer parking and reversing by monitoring blind spots for objects and cross traffic. We provide efficient power solutions that optimize sensor solution size.

Impervious to environmental conditions, radar plays an essential role with collision avoidance, blind-spot detection, and adaptive cruise control. We provide integrated power, supervisory, and protection solutions that satisfy demanding performance requirements.
