Devices and microsystems in the automotive industry

The advances in semiconductor design and development and manufacturing processes enable the integration, in the same device or in the same package, of analog, digital and power devices using single and multi-die solutions. In last years these technologies have evolved rapidly, extending voltage capability and integrating highly complex subsystems such as communication controllers or microcontroller units. Automotive industry has been one of the drivers behind the development of these technologies and has rapidly incorporated them in new developments.
