Expectations for the car Expectations for the car of the future of the future

• Reduced fuel consumption• Minimised pollutant emissions• High level of Safety and Comfort

Meeting these demands will require highly advanced and reliable electronic systems in all future new cars

3

Trends for passive components In Trends for passive components In Automotive ElectronicsAutomotive Electronics•Longer components lifetime

(10 years or 100.000 miles)

•Higher operating temperature (150°C-170°C for under the hood applications)

•Greater vibration frequencies

•Higher operating voltages (42 volt - Dual voltage system 14-42 volt batteries )

Integrated Starter AlternatorIntegrated Starter Alternator

Advantages:•Reduced Fuel Consumption (15-20%)•Lower emissions•Replacement of conventional components• The vehicle starts noiselessly• Automatic start-stop•High power output•Reduced vehicle vibration• Higher inboard voltage 42V

The system combines the functions of the starter

and alternator in a single intelligent electric motor

CAMLESS CAMLESS

VALVE OPERATION SYSTEMVALVE OPERATION SYSTEM

Each valve is operated by an electromagnetic actuator, independently from the other valves.

Advantages:

Reduced fuel consumption (15-20%) and emission benefits without any effect on performance

CAMLESSCAMLESS

For the 42V DC/DC and DC/AC converters of the power electronics are required capacitors:

• Working temperature 135°C or higher

• Able to work with high switching frequency and high rms current

• High reliability

• Able to withstand severe vibration and mechanical shock requirements
