## Resource

With advanced safety features, sophisticated sensors, and personalized temperature controls, software-defined vehicles require more power than ever before. Traditional automotive power systems simply can’t keep up with the demand. As the industry moves toward the adoption of 48-volt technology, a zonal architecture will play a critical role in this transition. This podcast covers why auto industry is undergoing a big E/E transition and the zonal architecture fundamentals, covering 48V power architectures, zonal E/E architecture, software-defined vehicles (SDV), and how integrated solutions such as 48V e‑fuses enable this transition.
