Modern vehicles rely on stable and controlled power distribution across ECUs, sensors, communication modules, and safety systems. Automotive electrical systems face voltage spikes during engine start, load dump events, and switching noise from motors and actuators. Improper power management can cause processor resets, memory corruption, or unpredictable behavior in safety systems. Automotive power management ICs (PMICs) are selected to maintain reliable power delivery under these real-world vehicle electrical stresses.

Automotive systems typically rely on PMICs selected during early vehicle platform design. When a PMIC reaches end-of-life, replacements must match power sequencing behavior, protection logic, and electrical performance. Even small differences can impact ECU startup, system stability, or safety operation.
Vehicles often remain in service for many years. Maintenance and spare part supply chains usually require identical PMICs or fully verified equivalent replacements. PMIC obsolescence can create production or service challenges if sourcing is limited.
Reliable sourcing supports continuous vehicle production and long-term serviceability. Access to traceable active and obsolete automotive PMICs helps maintain system compatibility, safety compliance, and reduces operational risk.
Maketronics supports global engineering and procurement teams with reliable sourcing of active, allocated, and obsolete Automotive Power Management ICs to help maintain production continuity and long-term vehicle system support.
They regulate and monitor power delivery to electronic systems, protecting sensitive components from voltage spikes, transients, and electrical noise.
They often include overvoltage and undervoltage protection, thermal shutdown, fault detection, and diagnostic reporting to ensure safe system operation.
By ensuring stable power sequencing and continuous voltage monitoring, PMICs help maintain reliable operation of safety-critical ECUs and sensors.
Only if power sequencing, protection logic, and electrical performance match the original design, as differences can affect system stability and safety compliance.
