‎E/E Architecture transformation and the µC families for Zone Controllers

The automotive megatrends are driving a major transformation for the power distribution architecture. As a result, primary and secondary distribution systems are being replaced by sophisticated Electronic/Electrical (E/E) architectures in modern vehicles to handle complex data and power flows for advanced features. Our Power Distribution solutions are versatile, scalable, and can be customized to meet specific customer needs. In the webinars below, we will explore the key features and benefits of Infineon's solutions, and demonstrate how they can help automotive manufacturers and suppliers enhance their products' performance, safety, and overall value proposition.

Protecting the wire harness from over-temperature damage is crucial to prevent potential serious injuries and severe damage to the car, its passengers and its surrounding. Traditional melting fuses and relays were sufficient in the past and present architectures, but they are no longer adequate for the increasing functionalities, safety requirements, and the evolution of automotive power distribution into zone architectures. Learn how Infineon smart power switches and controllers, incl. automotive gate driver ICs overcome these challenges in our video.

ADAS/ AD and X-by-wire systems introduce new functional safety requirements to the Power Distribution System. This also includes ensuring a high available energy supply and freedom from interference in power distribution sub-systems in accordance with ISO 26262:2018. This freedom from interference is secured by the introduction of safety elements, which require mandatory use of semiconductors. Infineon developed dedicate products families in accordance with ISO 26262:2018.
