Customized Automotive Electronics Solutions

Safety, comfort, and automation progress in step with passenger EVs. Littelfuse engineers stay ahead of the electric vehicle technology curve, producing off-the-shelf and customized electronics solutions for advanced driver assist systems and in-vehicle radar and lidar. We also make several speed, position, and light sensors for lighting, powertrain, and body control modules.

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.
