4 Automotive Applications Design Guide
Solutions for Low-Frequency Communications
Applications
Low-frequency communication systems provide
many benefits in and around the vehicle. In sensing
applications, it allows for the distribution of remote
sensors while eliminating the concern for wired
connection between the sensor and control module. In
other applications, a transponder becomes a mobile
device that can remain with the driver, or is attached to
another apparatus that can be transferred to/from the
vehicle when needed.

LOW-POWER ANALOG SOLUTIONS FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS
Solutions for Power Supply Applications
The growing deployment of navigation, entertainment and
communication equipment in modern cars, as well as the
utilization of most advanced semiconductor technologies,
has been changing the needs for voltage regulation in
the car. Automotive power supplies are used for DC-DC
conversion, DC voltage monitoring, pulse-width modulation
and digital control. Electronic Control Units are using
SEPIC and Buck Converters with multiple level output
voltages and different current ratings.
