Solving Automotive Design Complexities
Microsemi delivers a dedicated portfolio for demanding automotive requirements. With the car becoming a highly complex, communications network, auto manufacturers require reliability, low cost and ease-of-use in components and systems.Check out Microsemi’s automotive-grade FPGAs & SoCs, the only devices in the industry to offer advanced security and high reliability features critical for automotive applications. The new flash-based devices are targeted for the rapidly growing automotive electronics segment, as well as the industry’s burgeoning demand for high reliability and security for zero defect and tamper-free applications.Microsemi also offers an automotive-grade family of sensor interface ICs. The inductive interface ICs are ideal for a variety of applications related to control systems and industrial automation, specifically linear displacement measurement (fluid level sensing, gear position for transmission actuator position and brake lamp switch/proximity detection) and angular motion measurement (robotic arm position, rotating shaft position, pedal position and rotary controls). The new family also meets strict automotive application requirements, including AECQ100-certified grade 1 and production part approval process (PPAP) documentation support.
