Fuel Pump  

Tackling the challenge of achieving improved fuel efficiency, reducing CO2 emissions and increasing the reliability of vehicles means looking at every possible source of energy loss and rethinking the way the associated sub-system is built. This is why electric fluid pumps are replacing mechanical systems as they can help reduce losses from hydraulic friction.

Electric fuel pumps are most often implemented with brushless DC (BLDC) motors and ST has a complete range of three-phase gate drivers and Power MOSFETs to power them. SPC5 32-bit automotive-grade microcontrollers plus dedicated voltage regulators and power management ICs simplify the design of high-efficiency solutions.
