Static surge protection for intelligent cockpit systems in automobiles
一、Overview of Automotive Intelligent Cockpit System
We can first understand its internal composition and correlation through the following diagram of the automotive intelligent cockpit system drawn by Shanghai Lei Mao engineer:
As shown in the figure, with the development of the automotive industry, modern cars have far surpassed the traditional category of transportation and gradually evolved into a highly integrated intelligent mobile platform. However, with the increasing number of electronic devices in vehicles, the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of each system module has become a critical issue that cannot be ignored, and electrostatic and surge protection has become the core of EMC protection for in vehicle electronic devices.
As a multimedia center integrated into automobiles, the information and entertainment system provides information and entertainment functions for drivers and passengers. It is the main "refined" part of the intelligent cockpit system in automobiles, and its EMC protection is also essential.
二、Interface protection strategy for multimedia center of information entertainment system
The car media center is like the doors and windows of a house, responsible for connecting external media (such as smartphones, USB storage devices) and internal media (such as navigation systems, audio systems), allowing passengers to enjoy multimedia content inside the car. To ensure the safety of these "doors and windows", just as a house needs to be weather resistant, the automotive media center also needs to take effective measures to prevent issues such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) and surges.
Shanghai Leimao suggests protecting various interfaces (such as VBUS, USB 3.0, HDMI, SD card slot, audio interface) in the multimedia center of the information and entertainment system. The recommended part numbers are as follows:


三、EMC Protection of Central Display Screen in Information Entertainment System
The central display screen of automobiles has evolved from an early small screen with a few knobs and buttons to a primary means of providing important vehicle information to drivers and passengers. It has various interactive contents, such as navigation, cabin temperature control, and music or entertainment information, as shown in the above figure, which are usually transmitted through multiple high-speed interfaces..
Shanghai Leimao recommends electrostatic protection for interfaces such as I2C, GPIO, SPI, LVDS, etc. The following protective components are recommended:

Shanghai Leimao has sorted out the detailed wiring scheme for static electricity, surge and filtering of the above common interfaces. If necessary, please follow the official account of Shanghai Leimao or contact EMC.
Shanghai Leimao Laboratory recommends part number for automotive 12V/24V power protection that meets ISO7637-2 5A5B testing standards:
