Our demo car shown at the electronica and built on a scale of 1 to 8 is equipped with real functioning LED lights. The board in front is a full functioning automotive USB port, capable to charge any mobile device. The circuit is load-dump protected with the LDP01-26AYD2-AQ.

A few details:
• Stand-off Voltage 22 V
• Breakdown Voltage 26 V
• Peak Pulse Power 5 000 W
• Load-dump protection according to ISO-1670-2
• Industry standard D²PAK case outline

Why is load dump protection so important?
A load dump transient is the voltage surge generated when e. g. the battery is disconnected under load. This typically happens if a discharged low voltage car battery (also used in EVs!) is powered up by a second one and afterwards jump leads are removed. The peak voltage of this surge can be as high as 120 V and the surge may take up to 400 ms to decay. Enough to damage all kind of electronics at the supply system.
