Pragmatic solution for parasitic-immune design of electronics ICs for automotive (AUTOMICS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Smart Power ICs are extensively used in automotive embedded systems due to their unique capabilities to merge low power and high voltage devices on the same chip, at competitive cost. In such devices, induced electrical coupling noise due to switching of the power stages, when integrating such high voltage (HV) devices with low voltage (LV) functions, is a big issue. During switching, parasitic vo ...
