Passenger Car Vehicle Electronics
Cameras
Digital backup, front, and lane departure cameras help EV drivers and protect passengers, pedestrians, and property. Consult this block diagram to identify electronic components that protect these cameras. Littelfuse can supply diode arrays that prevent ESDs from degrading signals, resettable PPTCs for overcurrent protection of circuits, and multilayer varistors to protect against load dumps.Digital backup, front, and lane departure cameras help EV drivers and protect passengers, pedestrians, and property.

eCall
Commercial and passenger EVs equipped with eCall automatically alert emergency responders when they crash. A block diagram indicates the electronic solutions Littelfuse provides for those safety systems. Perhaps most importantly, we make TVS diodes, polymer ESD suppressors, silicon ESD suppressors, and diode arrays that help ensure communications signals stay strong and free from distortion.
Infotainment
Solutions Littelfuse offers for EV infotainment systems range from rectifiers to ESD suppressors. A block diagram illustrates how our products fit into circuitry for cameras, sensors, transceivers, and displays. Options include resettable PPTC devices for overcurrent and thermal protection, multilayer varistors for overvoltage protection, and Schottky diodes for power conversion.
Lighting - Headlamps/Taillights
EV headlights, taillights, and turn signal indicators are complex electrical systems. Consult this block diagram to find Littelfuse products that help protect and optimize the performance of exterior LED and halogen lamps. We offer Schottky diodes that serve as rectifiers for power supplies, LED protectors that prevent open circuit failures, and diode arrays that minimize signal noise from ESDs.
Lighting - Interior
Overcurrent, overvoltage, and ESD protection devices made by Littelfuse help interior lights for EVs operate as required. A block diagram shows our solutions, including Schottky diode rectifiers for power supplies and TVS diode arrays for LIN circuits. Other available products are LED protectors that prevent open circuit failures and resettable PPTC devices that protect against overheating.
Motor Controllers
Motor controllers allow brushless dc (BLDC) motors to operate power equipment in EVs. Consult this block diagram to identify Littelfuse’s overcurrent, overvoltage, and load dump protection solutions for small electric motors. We make resettable PPTC devices, TVS diodes, and multilayer varistors for motor controllers, as well as ESD protection devices for power inputs and outputs.
Radar
Radar feeds data to collision avoidance, automatic braking, and self-driving systems in EVs. Consult this block diagram to find Littelfuse products that help in-vehicle radar operate. Our solutions include Schottky diodes that serve as rectifiers for power supplies, diode arrays that provide ESD protection to waveform generators, and polymer ESD suppressors for analog front ends.
Sensor Fusion/ADAS
Sensors, cameras, radar, and lidar for advanced driver assist systems (ADASs) in EVs need protection from ESDs and voltage surges. This block diagram highlights Littelfuse components that can do those jobs. Our solutions for ensuring signals for systems like self-driving and collision avoidance remain undistorted by electronic noise include TVS diodes, diode arrays, and Schottky diodes.
Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication (V2V)
Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication promotes collision avoidance and enables self-driving. Consult this block diagram to find Littelfuse products that help EVs share speed, location, and heading information in real time. Our solutions for keeping signals to and from communications interfaces noise-free include TVS diodes, resettable PPTC devices, Schottky diodes, and polymer ESD suppressors.
