Automobiles are becoming more advanced every day. The number of integrated circuits (ICs) is increasing every year and spreading to more modules within the automobile to control lights, heating, sensors and more. The new paradigm of designing automobiles with more features and electrical controls raises the question of whether this is safe, and whether ICs can withstand the voltage transients common in automotive environments.

Since HEV/EVs operate at high voltages in very harsh environments, high-performance isolated voltage and current measurement solutions are critical for maintaining powertrain efficiency and long-term reliability. To meet these performance and isolation requirements, Texas Instruments has released the AMC1311-Q1, an AEC-Q100 qualified, high-accuracy, reinforced isolation amplifier. AMC1311-Q1 for Isolated Vo...

With the growth of Hybrid Electric vehicles (HEV) and Electric vehicles (EV), the conventional 12V circuits now need to communicate with higher voltage circuits. For the hybrid vehicles, this would be 48V batteries whereas for the fully electric vehicles this could be 400V or even more. These multiple voltage domains in the car make it mandatory to include isolation devices to protect the low voltage side components and circuits from the high vol...
