Wide variety of products available for automotive grade applications

Mouser provides a wide range of products from Vishay for automotive applications. Vishay has established its own automotive grade standard aiming for zero defects, zero incidents and zero failures. This standard includes key automotive industry quality initiatives and a robust design policy in which new and modified products are developed employing failure modes and effects analysis.

The prerequisites for the company's automotive-grade standard cover design, qualification and manufacturing and are utilised to continuously improve its products and processes. Components fulfilling these conditions earn the automotive grade stamp on their datasheets and can be seen in virtually every part of the automobile — from ADAS to active braking, airbag ignition, EV/HEV battery management systems and more.

The Vishay VOA300 is the industry's first AEC-Q102-qualified linear optocoupler, delivering a high-performance option for galvanically isolated current and voltage measurement in EVs. Providing an industry-high isolation voltage of 5,300Vrms, the device supplies a response time five times faster than competing devices. At the same time, the optocoupler delivers high transfer gain stability of 0.005%/C and a single-ended output for design flexibility. This output can be directly connected to an amplifier stage or an ADC. The device's fast response time allows quick detection of voltage and current ripples to trigger battery cut-off mechanisms, or eFuses, which protect passengers and vehicles.

The company's automotive grade IHLP low profile, high current inductors combine a high continuous operating temperature of up to +180C with a low profile 3mm package to save space in under-the-hood automotive applications. This AEC-Q200-qualified device is optimised for energy storage in DC-DC converters up to 2MHz. It also supplies excellent noise attenuation in high-current filtering applications up to the SRF of the inductor. With their high operating temperature, these devices are developed for filtering and DC-DC conversion in engine and transmission control units, diesel injection drivers, advanced driver assistance systems, exhaust gas recycling pumps and infotainment systems.

Vishay/Techno CDMA thick film chip dividers provide a compact 2512 case size and high working voltages of up to 1415V. The series is developed to lower component counts and placement costs for automotive and industrial applications while decreasing PCB sizes and supplying increased accuracy and stability. With two resistors integrated into a single package with a 5mm creepage distance, the chip dividers supply single-component replacements for multiple discrete resistors employed in voltage divider applications. The space-saving AEC-Q200 qualified devices are optimised for voltage monitoring and overvoltage protection in high-power DC-DC converters and inverters, onboard chargers and battery management systems in EVs and industrial equipment.

The Vishay K857PH automotive grade four-quadrant silicon PIN photodiode facilitates a variety of sensor and control applications for the automotive, consumer, and industrial markets, integrating high photosensitivity with low 0.1% crosstalk and practically no tolerance between its segments. The AEC-Q101 qualified device offers four monolithic PIN diodes – each with an active area of 1.6mm² – integrated into a single 4.72mm x 4.72mm x 0.8mm top-view, surface-mount package. The sides of the package are opaque, eradicating stray light irradiating the photodiodes, resulting in an exceptional SNR. The device's linear photo response is optimised for automotive rain and light sensors.

Mouser also hosts a Vishay automotive resource hub featuring eBooks, automotive articles, whitepapers, videos and more.
