LX Semicon has commenced production of its first automotive microcontroller unit (MCU) for Hyundai Motor and Kia, signaling the debut of the company's automotive semiconductor business. The LX61101 MCU, optimized for motor control in vehicle body electronics, marks the beginning of mass production. Initially, these chips will be integrated into Hyundai and Kia models slated for production in the latter half of the year.
Gradually, their applications will broaden to encompass a wider range of vehicle models. The 40-megahertz Arm Cortex-M3 core-based chip facilitates stable and precise motor control by constantly monitoring speed, position, rotational direction, and torque. It is set to be utilized in window safety systems that adjust direction in response to detected objects while windows are closing, as well as in systems managing vehicle aerodynamics.
This achievement represents LX Semicon's first significant milestone in its automotive MCU division, a strategic expansion launched in 2022 to broaden its product offerings beyond display-related semiconductors.
