CR665 | Alternator regulator for 14 V systems with LIN interface

CR665

10.6 – 16.0 V set voltage programmable via LIN interface

CR665 regulates the output voltage of a 14 V alternator to a constant value.

The regulator continuously senses the alternator’s output voltage, rpm, temperature, excitation current. It adjusts the excitation current to keep the output voltage on a constant level. Via LIN commands, the output voltage can be set to any desired value within the given range.
