On April 6, Freescale Semiconductor announced that it will provide a full range of application products for automotive electronic systems, including microcontrollers, analog devices, sensors, etc., suitable for automotive electronic system applications such as powertrain, chassis control systems, safety systems, body control systems, safety systems, driver information systems and infotainment.

　　Safety, energy saving, environmental protection, intelligence and information are the development trends of future automobiles. In line with these requirements, the trend of automobile electronics is becoming more and more obvious, and the proportion of semiconductors in automobile costs is also increasing. According to Strategy

According to the analysis of InfoComm, the average semiconductor content of each car reached $223 in 2004 and will increase to $400 in 2015. The average growth rate of the automotive semiconductor market is expected to be 11.1% from 2003 to 2008, increasing from $13.7 billion in 2003 to $23.2 billion in 2008.

　　According to statistics from Strategy Analytics, Freescale is the world's largest automotive electronics semiconductor supplier. Its 50-year history of continuous innovation in the semiconductor industry is an important foundation for Freescale's market leadership in the automotive electronics field. Freescale has a leading position in different semiconductor device markets, including the world's No. 1 market share in 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit automotive microcontrollers (MCUs) (Dataquest statistics), and the third in the sensor market. Its rich semiconductor device series can be used in all automotive electronic system control units (ECUs).

　　"As we all know, the development of automotive electronics networking and intelligence requires automotive electronics semiconductor suppliers to provide core device technology cooperation. While providing the best semiconductor devices, they must also be committed to providing related development platform environments and reference designs for automotive electronic system solutions." said Zhu Baolai, senior director of Freescale Semiconductor's automotive and standard products division and general manager of Asia Pacific. "Freescale has 30 years of experience in automotive semiconductors and provides a variety of solutions in six major areas: safety systems (airbags, ABS/stability and SAFF-by-wire: wire-controlled safety, etc.), body control systems (switch control, electric window control, door control, headlight control), security systems (remote control car locks, intrusion alarms, passive remote unlocking), powertrain systems (engine control, power steering), chassis control systems (brakes, traction control systems, steering control, suspension systems) and even automotive information systems (entertainment, services, mobile communications, information processing and GPS navigation systems, etc.)"

　　Automakers not only need semiconductor manufacturers to provide excellent semiconductor chips, but also need semiconductor manufacturers and automotive electronic module system suppliers to provide a complete set of system solutions. In addition, the automotive industry has many special requirements for semiconductor products. Automotive electronic products are not only required to operate in extremely harsh environments, such as -40 degrees to +120 degrees, but also to ensure sufficient reliability and stability; Freescale's zero defect quality management system just meets the requirements of manufacturers.

　　In the future, automotive electronics will reflect the development direction of networking and intelligence. Electronic control devices will provide stable, reliable and low-cost network connections through the CAN bus; motors, switches, sensors and lights will be connected to the network through the local interconnect network (LIN). Freescale's 8-bit HC08/S08 series and 16-bit HCS12/S12X series controllers (MCUs) just meet market requirements. At the AES exhibition hall, the solutions exhibited include: CAN/LIN bus door control solutions, light control solutions, and CAN/LIN network solutions based on the 8-bit controller 908MCU. LIN Demonstration Car - Body Electronic Network Reference Design, with 9S12C32 16-bit controller LIN master controller, controls the steering wheel, light switch, air conditioning control (LIN Slave HVAC Blower), throttle (LIN Slave HVAC Damper Door) and instrument (LIN Slave Cluster), etc.

　　In addition, in-vehicle devices also tend to use computers as platforms to integrate in-vehicle communications, navigation, audio-visual entertainment, network control, etc. into an integrated multimedia information system. Freescale is also committed to developing infotainment products, including portable and in-vehicle MP3 audio solutions developed using Amadeus media processors; Telematics/in-vehicle infotainment solutions based on the PowerPC mobileGT platform; and multi-channel surround Onyx DSP audio solutions.
