DC/DC Conversion

EVs rely on dc–dc converters to step up or step down current from batteries. This block diagram shows the power conversion solutions Littelfuse offers. Our IGBTs and MOSFETs work with our gate drivers to ensure sensors, control modules, and dc motors receive the electricity they require. We also make diode arrays to keep noise from ESDs out of signals and thermal protectors to prevent overheating.

TVS Diode Arrays

TVS diode arrays protect electronics from damage due to transient voltage surges and electrostatic discharges (ESDs). Littelfuse offers a variety of these surge protective devices (SPDs) in SOIC, DIP, flipchip, and other designs. Our lightning SPDs direct massive voltage surges from lightning strikes on outdoor equipment to ground. Our ultra-low capacitance TVS diodes provide ESD protection to data ports and cables. We also make SPDs specifically for automotive applications. Find your solution in our Circuit Protection Products Selection Guide.
Fuses Product Category Image

Fuses

Littelfuse produces more fuses, fuse types and fuse sizes than any other electrical component manufacturer. Our industrial fuses, power fuses, automotive fuses, axial fuses, cartridge fuses, surface mount fuses, specialty fuses, and medium voltage fuses provide overcurrent protection and regulate current flow in practically every device, machine, and electrical system.
Gate Drivers Product Category Image

Gate Drivers

Optimize the performance of power semiconductors, rectifiers, inverters, and other solid state switches by using gate driver ICs produced by Littelfuse and our IXYS subsidiary. We make integrated circuits to control IGBTs, MOSFETs, and innovative SiC-MOSFETs. We also offer patented optically isolated gate drivers for use in applications requiring superior fast turnoff performance.
Thermally protected varistors

Thermally Protected

Thermally protected varistors integrate metal oxide varistors with thermally activated elements to provide overvoltage protection. By opening in response to heating from overvoltage events, the surge protective devices (SPDs) also prevent arcs and fires. Typical applications for the thermal cutoff devices include power strips, inverters, and uninterruptible power supplies. Littelfuse makes several versions of these innovative SPDs, including one with a semiconductor fuse. Find a solution by consulting our Circuit Protection Product Selection Guide.

TVS Diodes

Transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes defend against damage from overvoltage events by responding within picoseconds to shunt current to ground. The classic example of TVS diode use is protecting outdoor telecom equipment from lightning strikes. Littelfuse produces surface mount and leaded diodes and TVS diode arrays for that, as well as TVS diodes for cars, personal electronics, data cables, and household appliances.
