The company is positive about the future outlook of the global intelligent automobile market. By launching these two new products, Macroblock has a more complete automotive series product line. Macroblock will continuously focus on the automobile original equipment market and keep developing other new products to assist each brand to maximize business value.

Macroblock's automotive series products have all passed this certification to make sure that the reliability and stability of ICs meet AEC's requirements.

Macroblock LED automotive IC product line can be divided into two categories, the first is the automotive display, and the other is the automotive lighting. Both MBI6659Q and MBI6665Q are categorized as automotive lighting.
