Electronic control units (ECUs) for advanced driver assistance systems are consuming more power, and the latest trend is toward ECU integration—installing an ECU close to the engine room or other working part. For these reasons, the number of electronic devices and components built into cars these days is on the rise, and the reliability of the electronic components used in the electronics is having a growing impact on the reliability of the vehicle overall.

Capacitors EMC Components Inductors (Coils) Ceramic Capacitors EMC Components Inductors (Coils) Chip Beads Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors SMD / SMT Inductors (Coils) Applications & Cases Nov. 2019 [Application Note] Motor/Inverter Circuit Configuration Example As the electrification of the automotive progresses, the demand for motor generators is on the rise. There is also a trend towards integration of electric motors and inverters, and the requirements with regard to compact dimensions and resistance against heat and vibrations are becoming ever more severe, while high reliability is also an important factor. In some cases, wiring inductance can lead to high surge voltages which requires countermeasures such as suitable wiring design and snubber capacitors. At the same time, noise countermeasures are also essential. As the electrification of the automotive progresses, the demand for motor generators is on the rise.
