2000-01-1242 Smart Power Supply Concept for 32-Bit Microcontroller Applications

The increasing complexity of automotive electronic systems can only be managed by a higher integration of the modules and a high reliability of the individual electronic devices. That means, the number of electronic components on board will decrease and their complexity will increase. This paper describes how to meet the requirements for the power supply of a 32-bit microcontroller based system in an automotive environment.
