In order to successfully apply custom ICs to the automobile, careful attention must be given to the climatic and electrical environment as described in this tutorial. Today, special interface circuits, including discrete protection components, are used to keep the transients described in Table 1 from literally destroying ICs. It is highly desirable that new IC designs tolerate these transients and avoid the use of costly external components. The development and application of adequate testing methods are mandatory for acceptance of new automotive custom ICs. The long lead times and high volume production needs of the automotive market are not flexible with respect to quick fixes or production changes. Continued widespread use of custom ICs is expected to occur in the future. Understanding the needs of the automotive system designer, as presented in this tutorial, will equip the chip designer with basic information needed to obtain a sucdessful design.
