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.
As today’s cars are putting more and more demands on their electrical power systems, they must achieve high efficiency to reduce heat dissipation and cut electricity consumption. At the same time, they need to be small enough to fit wherever needed, with suitable performance and flexibility.
Today’s vehicles are adding more and more electronic components, increasing the overall vehicle cost and exacerbating the growing challenge of protecting components against electrical damage while maintaining reliability.

From a driver’s point of view the knowledge needed to operate a vehicle has changed little in a long time, yet the overall driving experience has changed considerably. This is a good indication of how we think of our cars; they are not just a form of transport, they have become an integral part of our lives.
By Khagendra Thapa - Sensor & Power Management Business Unit Director
Although we still have a long road to travel, the automotive industry is now well on the way to producing autonomous vehicles in production volumes.
