As cars increasingly add new electronic capabilities and applications (such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), intelligent cockpits, telematics, and infotainment), the in-vehicle systems must keep up.
As today’s cars are putting more and more demands on their electrical power systems, they must achieve high efficiency to reduce heat dissipation and cut electricity consumption. At the same time, they need to be small enough to fit wherever needed, with suitable performance and flexibility.
Today’s high-speed interconnects achieve ever-higher data rates into the Gbps range. However, this introduces more design complexity.
We are surrounded by sophisticated electronic components; in our homes, cars, and gadgets. But these devices are only useful when they control or respond to something in the real world.
Even when not taking into account the electrification of the drivetrain, the number of electric motors in the average car is increasing significantly.

現今汽車配備的電子元件越來越多，提高汽車整體成本，而保護元件避免電性損壞同時維持可靠性的挑戰則日益艱鉅。
汽車內電子控制單元 (ECU) 等所有裝置的電力來源都是車內電池，因此容易受到電流尖峰或突波的影響，包括導通和關斷時的突波。此等敏感性催生電性損壞保護的需求。
