Overview

The convergence of the automotive industry and ICT technology has allowed traditional fuel vehicles to gradually transition to new energy electric vehicles. The entire automotive industry is developing along the way of  being electric, intelligent, networking and sharing, in which automotive electronics plays an important role. According to statistics, global new energy vehicle sales will exceed 10 million units in 2022, of which pure electric vehicles will account for more than 70%. Maintaining this momentum will open up a huge market for incremental automotive electronic components. In the future, the demand for chips in automotive electronics will continue to increase, especially in fields such as autonomous driving, smart cockpits and safety.

Background

Power devices used in electric vehicles face the challenges of high power, high reliability, and high temperature resistance in motor drive, DC-DC conversion and on-board charging with voltages up to 800 volts and power up to tens of KW. Intelligence puts forward higher requirements for computing performance. Fully unmanned autonomous driving requires more than 10,000 TOPS computing capability. The current vehicle computing chip cannot meet the conditions for the time being. Networking requires high-speed data transmission performance, such as Ethernet 10Gbps, video transmission SerDes 6Gbps, vehicle-to-vehicle latency within 20ms, vehicle-to-road 1Gbps, vehicle-to-cloud 1Gbps and other scenarios. In addition, the comfortable and safety experience require co-design and analysis of system components to solve issues such as signal\power integrity, electromagnetic interference, heat dissipation and stress reliability.
