Measurements and Simulation-Based Characterization Of eFuses


In conventional safety systems, the off state can be assumed to be safe. With ADAS, this is no longer automatically the case. This makes it necessary to adopt new approaches to fuse protection, which will subsequently spread to other industries. Traditionally, the vehicle electrical system was protected by sacrificial fuses. These reliably disconnect the power supply in the event of overcurr... » read more

eFuses: Use Cases, Benefits, And Design In The System Context


In recent years, the automotive industry has been one of the drivers of innovation in the field of electrical and electronic system safety. This is primarily due to the rapid uptake and, in some cases, already mandatory use of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) as well as to the first steps toward (partially) autonomous vehicles. In conventional safety systems, the off state can be as... » read more
