China, October 29, 2012-Audi, the world's leading automaker, and STMicroelectronics (ST; NYSE: STM), the world's leading semiconductor supplier across multiple electronic applications Establish strategic partnerships and jointly develop advanced semiconductor solutions to promote the innovative development of automotive electronics technology. Since its establishment in 1987, STMicroelectronics has always focused on the development and innovation of automotive electronics technology.
Audi and STMicroelectronics will jointly develop automotive semiconductor solutions and launch technical cooperation in three key design areas: reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, security and theft prevention, infotainment and comfort equipment. The purpose of the cooperation between the two parties is to actively promote automotive technology innovation, while ensuring product quality and timely delivery, and shortening product development cycles.
Ricky Hudi, Chief Engineer of Audi Power Electronics, said: "The cooperation with STMicroelectronics is an integral part of our Advanced Semiconductor Project (PSCP), which will further strengthen our participation in the innovative 'white box' electronics field and enhance our participation in this technology. Requirements. STMicroelectronics has a broad technology portfolio and manufacturing capabilities. Our commitment to the automotive industry has been verified by the market, and we naturally chose STMicroelectronics. "
Marco MonTI, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Automotive Products Division at STMicroelectronics, said: "We are very pleased to be invited to cooperate with Audi, a globally respected and innovative car brand, to jointly create exciting new cars for our customers. The advanced semiconductor project clearly represents Audi ’s commitment to innovation, and a true partnership attitude in the automotive industry is a prerequisite for success. Building partnerships with customers is one of our important assets, which has been in our company ’s 25-year history . Thanks to Audi ’s innovative perspective-semiconductors are a true innovation driver in the automotive industry, and we are expanding the automotive electronics business and working more closely with automotive manufacturers. "
Regular reports from industry analysts show that the proportion of electronic components and semiconductors in automobiles is increasing. According to IHS iSuppli calculations, global automotive semiconductor revenue exceeds 25 billion US dollars. Semiconductor technology has entered the core components of automotive systems, from advanced engine management to maintain optimal performance and reduce exhaust emissions, to advanced safety systems and chassis, such as anti-lock braking systems, stability control systems and airbags, to Comfort systems, such as body control, climate control and infotainment, can see semiconductor technology playing an important role.
The future automotive industry needs the rapid development of automotive semiconductor technology. Taking the video processors used in advanced driver assistance systems and navigation systems as examples, these devices must improve the integration of system-level chips and apply the most advanced semiconductor production nodes, such as 28-nanometer CMOS advanced manufacturing technology. The ultimate goal is to achieve full electrification of the car, from a simple oil pump to the main electric traction engine, all load control is fully electronic.
Recognizing that these market demands are extremely challenging, Audi and STMicroelectronics decided to integrate Audi's OEM application knowledge and ST's advanced semiconductor technology, design capabilities, IP and manufacturing processes to develop advanced automotive semiconductor products. ST's technology research and development capabilities cover multiple automotive design areas, such as unique BCD â„¢ smart power, advanced CMOS, embedded flash memory, non-volatile memory, VIPower and other motor control technologies; advanced chassis control, security systems and navigation The equipment uses LED lighting control, power discrete devices (low and high voltage silicon devices, SiC, GaN), CMOS image sensors, and MEMS motion sensors. ST's strong manufacturing capabilities can produce all of the aforementioned automotive semiconductor products.
