 Electrical Threats

Electrical Threats and

New Automotive Technologies

THREAT: ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)

ESD is characterized by fast rise times and high peak voltages and currents up to 30A, which
can melt silicon and conductor traces. Even when ESDs don’t cause catastrophic failures,
electrical currents due to ESD can change the state of internal logic, causing a system to
latch up and behave unpredictably or cause corruption of a data stream. Without adequate
protection, ESD can damage control units, infotainment electronics, sensors, fuel injectors,
valves, motors, powertrains, and dozens of other components. Sometimes, a component or
circuit is damaged by ESD, creating latent defects that later progress to premature failures.

TVS Diode Arrays

Because of their high-speed response to overvoltages, TVS
Diode Arrays are widely used for ESD protection in automotive
electronics. Automotive-qualified SPA® TVS Diode Arrays from
Littelfuse are available in a range of compact surface-mount
packages to fit into any layout.

THREAT: SWITCHING LOADS IN POWER ELECTRONICS CIRCUITS

In modern automotive designs, all on-board electronics are connected to the battery
and the alternator. However, the output of the alternator is unstable and requires further
conditioning before it can be used to power the vehicle’s other systems. During the
powering or switching of inductive loads, the power is temporarily interrupted, and
unwanted voltage spikes or transients are generated. If left unchecked, these transients
would be transmitted along the power line and into the electronic modules.

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.

THREAT: OVERLOADS/SHORT-CIRCUIT CURRENTS
Sustained overloads will cause circuit components to overheat, potentially leading to catastrophic
and uncontrolled failures of the vehicle’s electrical system. Short circuits can surpass the capabilities
of the wires, connectors, etc. in the power circuit, which can also lead to uncontrolled failures or
possibly a thermal event.

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.

Resettable PPTC Overcurrent

Protection Devices
Littelfuse Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC) devices are
widely used in automotive applications like wiring harness and network
protection, communication and infotainment systems, and EV battery
management systems. Unlike Fuses, these devices provide resettable
protection for automotive electronics against damage from harmful
overcurrent surges. Bladed, leaded, and surface-mount form factors are
available for automotive applications.

OPPORTUNITY: ELECTRIFYING THE VEHICLES OF TOMORROW

Researchers predict that by 2025, a typical high-end vehicle will contain more than $6,000
worth of electronics. The growing interest in self-driving vehicles, vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-
to-infrastructure communications, and on-board safety, convenience, and environmental
features ensures that the sheer number of electronic components per vehicle will continue to
expand rapidly. Additionally, as hybrid-electric vehicles become increasingly popular, power
semiconductors will be critical to the next generation of Battery Management Systems and
on-board/off-board charging systems.

5
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.

 BATTERY MODULE
Inside the battery pack is a number of battery modules made up of individual
battery cells. This architecture dictates that layers of circuit protection are required.
At the module level, the battery module and cable should be protected from
overcurrent and from overloads between power-sense lines. The electronics should
be defended against voltage transients, and the CAN and other communication
buses should be safeguarded from ESD and voltage transients.

 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.

 BATTERY DISTRIBUTION UNIT
A battery distribution unit is like the vehicle’s junction/panel box, delivering
power to the many systems that need it. In electric vehicles, the unit relies on
high-current, high-voltage fuses and contactors. Drawing upon its deep experience
in the automotive industry, Littelfuse provides both fuses and contactors that are
reliable and safe for this emerging application.

 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.

 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.

 CAMERAS
External cameras support ADAS functions like Lane Departure Warning, while
interior cameras support eye tracking to prevent accidents due to drowsiness
of the driver. In addition to protection against common electrical threats, data
and communication buses require protection that does not interfere with high-
