Background

With the rapid advancement of vehicle electrification and intelligence, the operational stability of on‑board electronic equipment directly depends on its ability to withstand various transient events from the vehicle’s power supply. Complex conditions such as voltage drops, short interruptions, pulse disturbances, and ripple noise constantly challenge the reliability of automotive electronics. From international ISO and GB standards to OEM‑specific test specifications of VW, BMW, Ford, and other major automakers, stringent requirements are imposed on the simulation of vehicle power supply characteristics. Related testing has become a mandatory requirement for the development and type approval of 12V/24V/42V/48V on‑board electronic systems, while also extensively covering the power supply reliability verification needs of electrical equipment in military, aviation, railway and many other sectors.

Technical Challenges

The industry currently faces multiple critical pain points: Unipolar power supplies cannot cover negative voltage conditions, making it impossible to fully reproduce the transient characteristics of vehicle power systems. Insufficient bandwidth fails to simulate high‑frequency ripple and noise, limiting test coverage. Non‑adjustable output impedance makes it difficult to precisely match the wiring harness impedance characteristics of different vehicle models. Limited waveform editing capability prevents accurate reproduction of complex real‑world vehicle power waveforms. Additionally, the wide variation in OEM test specifications across global automakers creates high equipment adaptation difficulty, preventing one‑stop test coverage.
