Reverse-Polarity Protection in Automotive Design (.PDF Download)

Feb. 26, 2016

Electronics and automobiles have a long history together: Car radios started to appear in the 1930s, and the first electronic ignition was tested by Delco Remy in 1948. The pace picked up in the mid-1980s with the introduction of the first electronic engine-control units, and now electronic components comprise about 35% of the total cost of a vehicle...
