Zonal Architecture for Automotive Body Control Applications

Event Description

With the shift from a domain control model to zonal control, automotive electronics require a higher level of integration of components to conserve space, reduce cost, and improve reliability. In addition, these systems can often be exposed to harsh environmental operating conditions, including high voltage, short circuits, and electrostatic discharges.

Advances in power MOSFET processing technology make it possible to integrate power switching and protection features together in an economical way. Furthermore, power components have also become ‘smarter’, enabling them to introduce greater flexibility and versatility into modern automotive designs. This webinar will cover key topics relating to smart power switching electronics and gate drivers.
