Abstract
The design of integrated circuits for automotive applications has to face multiple challenges, such as high voltage capability, robustness in a wide temperature range, good electromagnetic compability, protection against short-circuit and overvoltage conditions, and predictable behaviour also in case of missing supply voltages.
This paper presents some analog circuit examples to deal with the mentioned circumstances without loosing functional performance.
