A rising dependency on microelectronic components has been a trend, especially for small motors that deliver up to 1 kW, in which integrated system-on-chip solutions are being used for electric pumps, such as a fuel pump, oil pump, water pump, and fans like a HVAC blower and engine cooling fan.
Owing to their proximity to the engine, motor control solutions for automotive pumps and fans must be highly robust, and able to withstand high temperatures. Additionally, the need to accommodate a rising number of auxiliary pumps in a limited space is a challenge.
