Building the Future of Automotive Systems Together

In the future, the convergence of automotive and electronics will create a new and complex automotive system. Cars will become computers on wheels. To power more electronic control systems, Richtek has tackled automotive power design challenges to help you achieve targets for high quality, reliability and safety.

Persistence with solving problems

Automotive power designs requires special care of severe conditions in automotive environment.

AEC-Q100

Wide temperature range

ISO16750-2/ISO7637-2

Input voltage fluctuation

CISPR 25

Electromagnetic Interference

Cars are built to withstand extreme temperature changes, and prolonged exposure to either freezing or sweltering conditions. Richtek’s solutions compliant with AEC-Q100 standard to ensure consistent product performance from -40°C up to 125°C.

Providing stable and reliable voltage from critical input transient conditions, Richtek’s solutions meet the ISO16750-2/ISO7637-2 industry standard to tackle cold crank, load dump and discontinuities in supply.

The EMI effects can range from broadcast band interference to initiation of electronic devices. We solve EMI problems with the designs of external clock synchronization, spread spectrum and low radiation packages to pass essential conducted emissions tests specified by CISPR 25.

Fulfilling the stringent starting profile

Designing wide input voltage range circuits with minimum on- time and minimum off-time to handle engine cold crank profile down to 3V and load dump transients up to 60V.

Minimizing standby current

Featuring low quiescent current to reduce total current drawn from the car battery for long standby time.

Reducing assembly failures

Offering products in various packages including wettable flank-plated flat no-leads packaging to assist with the automated optical inspection (AOI) and improve the robustness of the soldering process.

Exceeding the standard

Defining the Mission Profile in the design and verification process for the assessment of real application robustness.

Quality

Taking the Zero Defects Approach for increased productivity and continual improvements over the long-term.

Accuracy

Delivering electronic parameters with high accuracy to increase system tolerance and design margin.

Reliability

Implementing the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to ensure that potential problems have been considered and addressed during system operations.

Safety

Introducing the ISO26262 functional safety standard for product designs and the required development processes.

Connecting the future

Partnering with MediaTek to power the infotainment, telematics and ADAS systems for the electrified, connected and automated vehicles of tomorrow.
