OLED Dashboard – Supplied by Diotec's LDO LDI51-3.0EN-AQ

Modern OLED dashboards contains multiple displays and indicators that helps drivers operate their cars efficiently. They typically include gauges such as a speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge and oil pressure gauge, as well as various warning lights and system malfunction indicators. By centralizing all essential system information in one easily visible location, the instrument cluster ensures drivers can monitor their vehicle's status at a glance. One of the best features of our digital dashboards is that they can be easily customized to show a variety of data points, including entertainment options and navigation. Equipped with the latest OLED technologie, these clusters offer an all-inclusive view of the vehicle’s performance, thus enhancing the overall user experience.

LDO regulators ensure efficient power management, especially under high loads. Instrument clusters integrate components like external memory, MCUs, stepper motors, CAN/LIN interfaces and backlighting, all operating at different voltages. Designing for efficiency, compactness, cost, and minimal EMI is crucial.

The LDI51-3.0EN-AQ by Diotec is a high-performance Low-Dropout (LDO) regulator designed for efficient power management in automotive and industrial applications. The LDI51-3.0EN-AQ specifies a typical dropout voltage of 120 mV when the output current is 500mA and the output voltage is 3.0 V with integrated current limiting and thermal overload protection. The low quiescent current of 1uA extend the battery’s life. Input voltage is up to 18 V, Power dissipation is 500 mW and junction temperature is -40 to +125 °C.
