Integration of substrate-isolated high voltage devices in junction isolated technologies

This paper discusses how the voltage capability of the existing junction isolation (JI) based smart power bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technologies for a 12V electrical automotive systems can be easily up-converted to support the new 42V electrical automotive systems. The modular integration and the new high voltage device architecture used to achieve this are also discussed in this paper.
