• Electric vehicle systems rely on isolation to safely connect low voltage and high voltage systems
• Automotive grade semiconductor devices improve system reliability
• Safety standards impact isolation devices in a vehicle
• Minor design improvements help solve common issues with digital isolators
The Need for Automotive Isolation Inside every internal combustion vehicle is the tried and true 12 V electrical system. Inside every electric
or hybrid electric vehicle (EV, HEV) is something much different. EVs and HEVs harness the power of high voltage electrical systems to efficiently drive the main electric motor(s), rapidly charge the battery,
and quickly heat the cabin on cold days. EVs and HEVs today use 400 V or 800 V, with even higher voltages on the horizon. T
