12/48 V motor control solutions for automotive pumps and fans

Regardless of the engine type, modern vehicles rely on a growing number of electric motor control solutions. Electric motors enable smart basic functionality like the window lift and sunroof as well as innovative comfort features like flexible seat control and ventilation. Last but not least, motors run various pumps and fans – some of which support safety-relevant powertrain applications.

These include fuel pumps, the main water pump, and auxiliary pumps as well as engine and battery cooling fans. All of these parts must operate reliably. Additionally, automotive manufacturers are challenged to accommodate a rising number of auxiliary pumps in a limited space.

Given their proximity to the engine, motor control solutions for automotive pumps and fans must be extremely robust with the ability to withstand high temperatures.
