Identifying opportunities
Our advanced in-vehicle networking (IVN) technologies enable a suite of
systems that take safety, convenience, and performance to new levels.
We are a recognized market leader in all the major networking protocols,
including CAN, LIN, and FlexRay.
CAN
We’ve played a leading role in establishing CAN (Controller Area Network) as the automotive
networking standard. Our portfolio covers all the physical layer options, and includes
automotive-grade implementations of high-speed and fault-tolerant transceivers as well as a
standalone protocol controller.
LIN
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) decentralizes local functionality in applications like door and
seat control, and is a popular choice for IVN because it reduces cost while increasing flexibility.
Our LIN portfolio extends functionality and reduces system cost via dedicated LIN System Basis
Chips (SBCs). A family of one-chip-node LIN slave products is in development.
FlexRay
FlexRay delivers the network performance, reliability, and flexibility demanded by modern
vehicle electronics. We were first to deliver a FlexRay transceiver and continue to expand the
family while helping customers to migrate their applications to FlexRay.
Automotive networking

System Basis Chips
System Basis Chips (SBCs) combine one or several bus transceivers, voltage regulators, I/O pins and
optionally the functionality of a watchdog in a single IC. The combination of these integrated functions
offers advanced low-power mode control and smart fail-safe behavior. Pin-compatible family devices with
different transceiver options support the design of ECUs that can be adapted to different projects by
simply changing the population of the printed circuit board.

In several regions around the world, governments are introducing stricter
requirements for emissions and fuel consumption, including tighter
regulations for CO2 and NOX emissions.
Automotive sensors play an important role in meeting these requirements,
since they can optimize fuel efficiency in Internal Combustion Engines
(ICEs) and enable next-generation, low-emissions power trains in Hybrid
Electric Vehicles (HEVs).
Magneto-resistive (MR) position and speed sensors
Contactless sensor systems improve fuel economy, reduce emissions, and improve the vehicle’s
safety and comfort. Precise and reliable performance make our MR sensors ideal for
engine-management functions like Electronic Throttle Control (ETC), Variable Valve Timing
(VVT), and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). MR sensors are also used in systems for Electric
Power Steering (EPS) and wiper and pedal positioning, and they appear in rotational speed
applications like ABS, ESP, and transmission.

Temperature sensors
Our silicon-based temperature sensors, which offer a virtually linear characteristic over their
entire operating range, ensure highly accurate measurement with a long operating life. The KTY
series can be used in systems throughout the vehicle, including oil temperature, oil module,
transmission, engine cooling, fuel injection, climate control, overheating protection, and heating
control. Used throughout the car, they contribute considerably to a more efficient, safe, and
more comfortable ride.

We are a global leader in discrete power MOSFETs for automotive
systems. Our power solutions deliver the flexibility today’s cars need,
whether they’re driving a simple lamp or controlling a sophisticated
system that includes engine, body, and chassis applications.
Automotive TrenchMOS
We offer more than 300 standard part numbers for automotive power, and often create unique,
customer-specific offerings. Our power MOSFETs achieve field return rates of below 1 ppm,
meeting the zero-defects target that automotive customers expect.
TrenchPLUS
TrenchPLUS is a range of standard MOSFETs with added protection features, including current
and temperature sensing components, overvoltage clamps, and gate protection (ESD) diodes.
Using data gathered by these sensors, the system microcontroller can implement cost-effective
protection features, so there’s no need to design with protected power devices. Each standard
product is equipped with one or more PLUS features. For high-volume applications, custom
versions can also be made available.
Light Position Controller
The TDA3629 Light position controller (Leucht Weiten Steller, LWS) is a monolithic integrated
circuit intended to be used in passenger cars. This device adapts the elevation of the light
beam of the head light of the car to a state defined by the car driver using a potentiometer on
the dashboard (in manual leveling) or by light leveling controller according to sensor input (in
automatic leveling).

LFPAK
This innovative packaging technology supports more complex body electronics, minimizing

Car audio amplifiers and connecti vity
Our audio and connectivity solutions meet the strict cost, quality,
and application requirements of today’s automobiles. We are an
industry leader in audio amplifiers and offer a portfolio that reflects
our comprehensive understanding of technology. That includes
highly efficient Class-D amplifiers, based on our own advanced silicon
processes, and the industry’s first high volume produce IPAS
(Integrated Power and Amplifier Solution).
Class-AB amplifiers
For Class-AB audio amplification, our range includes high-power quad and dual standalone
audio power amplifiers covering all in-car listening experiences.
Class-D amplifiers
Since Class-D power amplifiers improve the sound performance for everyone inside the car,
they’re increasingly important to consumers. Our Class-D solutions support more drive channels
from the head unit radio, with less heat consumption.

Car audio amplifiers and connecti vity
Integrated power amplifiers and stabilizer
By combining a high-power audio amplifier with multiple-output voltage regulators, the Class-D
IPAS is a simple idea that offers substantial benefits, including shorter design-in cycles and
reduced system cost. IPAS ICs offer extra functions, too, like protections and diagnostics and
flexible controlled voltage.
USB connectivity
Today’s cars offer a host of great infotainment applications, but, unfortunately, most of them
work independently. Connectivity options, especially USB via the NXP SAF1562HL, create a
simple way to let drivers and passengers plug their own personal devices directly into the car’s
infotainment system.
