Automotive lighting applications use DC/DC converters to supply the necessary lighting circuits. High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps require a very high ignition voltage pulse of several thousand volts followed by a constant voltage. Bourns produces a range of components that meet protection and conditioning needs for external HID and internal lighting, instrument cluster and various internal LED lighting. Furthermore, Bourns® Sparctube® products deliver high energy, low loss and fast voltage controlled switching of capacitive discharge circuits needed for automotive HID Xenon headlight applications.
Applications: External HID and internal lighting – instrument cluster, various internal LED – lighted areas. Protection and Conditioning of components is needed.
