Door Control Units
The Door Control Unit (DCU) is the next step on the same electronics platform that powers our LIN Bus smart window motors. Our Taiwan engineering center already designs the motor control IC, anti-pinch firmware and LIN/CAN integration in-house — the DCU brings these capabilities together into one module for the specified door-control functions.
Han Yale is preparing a DCU development program, with in-house control chips, real-vehicle validation in Taiwan and volume production at our Vietnam facility. We are opening this program to OE and aftermarket partners.
Proven Capabilities, Extended to the Whole Door
Our smart motor programs provide a foundation in motor control, sensing, firmware and vehicle-network integration for DCU development. These capabilities support an integrated development process and greater control over electronic design and component sourcing.
In-House Control IC
We design our own control chips, reducing dependence on discontinued or allocated parts that often stall DCU supply.
Anti-Pinch Firmware
Motion control, soft-stop and anti-pinch algorithms already proven in our LIN smart motors.
LIN / CAN Protocol Matching
Vehicle network communication matched to the original body controller, with connector, firmware and initialization requirements defined for the target application.
Real-Vehicle Validation
In-vehicle signal analysis and EMC testing on original doors as part of the application-specific validation plan.
Planned DCU Functions
Acting as both the control center of the door and its interface to the vehicle network, the DCU coordinates the actuators, sensors and switches behind everyday comfort and safety functions.
Integrated Door-Control Functions
- Power windows with one-touch up/down and anti-pinch reversal
- Door locks and child safety lock control
- Mirror control — fold, adjust and related functions
- Window switch inputs and LIN/CAN communication with the body controller
- Diagnostics through compatible vehicle tools, subject to application and tool support
Ford F-150 Door Control Modules
- Replacement DCUs for the Ford F-150, our initial target application
- Targeting compatibility with the original connector, protocol and mounting
- Built on our in-house IC to improve control over component sourcing
- Further platforms to follow based on partner demand
