Doing a Toyoto Prius Teardown

By Paul Kedrosky · April 23, 2007 · ·

I love teardown analyses of technology, so a new EETimes series on tearing down a Toyota Prius is catnip for me. Read the whole series:

  • Part 1: The airbag control module
  • Part 2: The dashboard display
  • Part 3: The skid control module

Among other things, it remains a great reminder of the importance of conservative component choices, as well as the continuing importance of analog circuits (the voodoo of circuit design).
