Abstract

The rapid transition toward 800-V electric vehicle (EV) architectures and the integration of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have introduced unprecedented challenges in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This research explores the dual-front problem of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) originating from high-power switching converters and the signal integrity requirements of 10G automotive Ethernet. By synthesizing regulatory frameworks from the United Nations and the European Commission with contemporary power electronics modeling, this study investigates the mitigation of common-mode noise and high-power electromagnetics. Furthermore, the paper provides an extensive analysis of shielding effectiveness in camera-based ADAS lighting controls, validated through simulation methodologies. The findings suggest that while wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors offer efficiency gains, they necessitate sophisticated filtering and PCB-level shielding to remain compliant with international standards. This comprehensive study bridges the gap between power-level noise generation and signal-level interference, proposing a holistic design framework for the future of autonomous and electrified transportation.
