Circuit Protection for High-Speed Serial Interfaces
T
hose who follow autonomous vehicle technology
are usually well aware of its benefits. But the safety
and convenience autonomous vehicles offer can
only come if the vehicle electronics are reliable and
robust to electrical shocks such as lightning strikes
(limited to the AC input of on-board chargers), in-vehicle
power surges electrostatic discharge (ESD). Design
engineers must incorporate circuit protection early
enough in the process to avoid last-minute revisions
that can delay compliance approvals and potentially
compromise circuit performance. The following is a look
at what's available.
