Simplifying Motion Detection and Measurement for Automotive Control Systems
As cars continue to increase in complexity, automotive designers must provide reliable and accessible controls to prevent drivers and passengers from becoming overwhelmed.

Efficient Buck Converters for Automotive Point-of-Load Applications
With modern vehicles containing so many electronic components and ECUs, it’s vital that PoL converters achieve high efficiency.

Accurate Proximity Detection in Automotive Applications From Hall Effect Switches
As vehicles and their technology features become more sophisticated, Hall effect switches help make driving easier, safer, and more comfortable.

Simplifying In-Car Connectivity for High-Definition Video Over USB Type-C® and DisplayPort™
As modern-day vehicles are full of technology, automotive manufacturers are under pressure to provide high-definition screens for streaming video, games, and video calls to meet consumer expectations.

New Two-Pad Crystal Uses Seam Sealing for Pb-Free, RoHS-Compliant Devices
The FE/FEQ & FT/FTQ families are RoHS-compliant two-pad crystals that use seam sealing, which makes them fully lead-free in contrast to equivalent crystals that use a glass-sealed design.

How Intelligent MOSFET Switches Are Replacing Automotive Fuses and Relays
The automotive industry's rapid transition to electric or hybrid vehicles, and increasing ADAS and ECU usage, result in more power and computational performance being required to drive new loads and process data in real time.

40V MOSFET Delivers Efficiency Gains for Electric Vehicles
Right now, the automotive industry is going through a big transformation as it rapidly shifts from internal combustion engines to battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs).

Precision Op Amps Handle Automotive Signal Conditioning Demands
It’s become commonplace to think of cars as computers on wheels—with many high-profile industry figures using such terminology. But that can be a misleading comparison, as analog signals are just as important as digital computing in the automotive industry.

Harnessing PCIe® 3.0 For In-Vehicle High-Speed Connections
As cars increasingly add new electronic capabilities and applications (such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), intelligent cockpits, telematics, and infotainment), the in-vehicle systems must keep up.
