Types and applications of automotive chips

152
Automotive chips are mainly divided into three categories: functional chips, power semiconductors and sensors. Functional chips (MCU), also known as "micro control units", are the key to realizing the functions of the automotive internal electronic control system, infotainment system, powertrain system, vehicle motion system and other system functions. Power semiconductors are used in the automotive power control system, lighting system, fuel injection and chassis safety system. Sensors are input devices for automotive computer systems, responsible for converting information such as vehicle speed, temperature of various media, and engine operating status into electrical signals.
