Electrical Threats
Varistors
4
Automotive-qualified Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) and Multilayer Varistors
(MLVs) protect against voltage transients induced by load dump and other
transient events. When exposed to high-voltage transients, the varistor
impedance changes by many orders of magnitude—from a near open-
circuit to a highly conductive level—clamping the transient voltage to a
safe level. Choose from radial-leaded MOVs in disc sizes from 5mm to
20mm. Also, surface-mounted MLVs are available.
Fuses
Automotive Fuses protect components or circuits by melting under
overcurrent conditions to interrupt current flow. In addition to
withstanding rapid temperature cycles and vibration, they must offer
long-term stability and AEC-Q test compliance. Littelfuse offers an
unparalleled range of automotive Fuses, from cartridge and blade styles
to surface-mount chip Fuses.

Power Semiconductors
Power semiconductor devices enable the next generation of vehicles by
managing power flexibly. Fast-switching SiC technology increases power
density and energy efficiency in systems like on-board battery chargers.
The Littelfuse power semiconductor portfolio includes Thyristors,
Rectifiers, Fast Recovering Diodes, IGBTs, and wide band gap devices.

ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM
The energy storage system, which includes the battery management system,
stores and supplies electric power for all vehicle needs. Obviously critical, this
system needs protection from a wide range of electrical threats, such as high-
fault currents, voltage transients, overcurrent, and overloads. Each threat is
best countered with the right type of circuit protection technology.

ON-BOARD BATTERY CHARGER
Hybrid and electric vehicle batteries can be recharged from standard power outlets
by using an AC-DC converter system, or directly from DC power that is covered
outside of the vehicle for faster charging. Design challenges include protecting
against overcurrents, overvoltages and ESD, as well as controlling switching of the
input rectifiers. Littelfuse offers a broad range of High Voltage Fuses, Varistors, GDTs,
Switching Thyristors and TVS Diodes and Diode Arrays to address these threats.

DC/DC CONVERTER
The DC/DC converter changes the high voltage from the battery to a lower level of
voltage, which is needed by a wide range of onboard systems: 12 V loads, including
lighting, sensors, and entertainment, and 48 V loads, including heating, powertrain,
and air conditioning. Littelfuse IGBT Gate Drivers control the switching MOSFETs
for energy-efficient power conversion. Power semiconductor devices are vulnerable
to electrical threats, which is why circuit protection is particularly important.

ACTIVE CLAMPING
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) are widely used in power inverters, electric
vehicle chargers, and motor control because of their ease of use and their high-voltage
and current driving capabilities. Active clamping switching technology offers a solution
that illustrates how modern, high-power IGBTs can be used with reliability, especially
in high-speed railway and automotive traction applications. A high-voltage TVS diode
is a critical component for IGBT active clamping during an IGBT turn-off event, and
helps in operating an IGBT in a safe and active mode.

MOTOR CONTROL
As mechanical/hydraulic actuators are replaced with electric motors, such as
those for electric parking, braking, seat modules, and mirrors, motor control circuit
protection is critical to a vehicle’s overall reliability. Potential threats include load
dump, overcurrents, surges, and ESD. Littelfuse offers a wide range of TVS Diodes
and Diode Arrays, MLVs, MOVs, and PPTCs to protect motor control applications.

RADAR SYSTEM
Vehicle radar has the crucial task of detecting the speed, distance, and direction
of objects and then communicating that data to systems used for parking,
emergency braking, and self-driving. Signal lines should have ESD protection,
and the power supply should be protected from short circuits, overcurrents, and
overvoltage. Automotive qualified components from Littelfuse include fuses,
PPTCs, TVS Diodes, Diode Arrays, and Polymer ESD Suppressors.
