While today's automobiles are increasingly energy efficient, they have more electrical demands placed on them than ever before. The radio head unit must balance conflicting power demands and constraints. This behind-the-scenes power management is vital to achieving reliable, effective operation. The white paper shows how to meet difficult demands in the electronics radio head unit while also minimizing design headaches and trade-off penalties.

The white paper covers the following key points:

• The automobile radio head unit in the console and instrument cluster is an increasingly crowded place supporting many electronic functions.
• Providing the various required DC power rails is a difficult challenge, with most designers resorting to a complicated, diverse mix of regulators.
• Ensuring that these regulators meet the stringent requirements for electrical, thermal, and EMI performance is a major design challenge.
• Maxim offers the MAX16993 and MAX16930, two highly integrated regulators with superior voltage, temperature, and EMI performance.
