This paper discusses requirements for innovative Si solutions for modern automobiles and technologies which are being developed for automotive applications. There are now many electronic control units (ECUs) implemented on vehicles which require high-speed communications for data sharing over several networks. In order to deal with increasing bandwidth requirements and to interface efficiently with the many sensors and actuators on the modern vehicle, significant advances are being made in electronic systems. The scope of the problem and types of systems affected are discussed along with the solutions being generated. System chips are being developed which integrate different technologies monolithically in order to reduce chip count, cost and size, and increase performance and reliability; all key drivers in the automotive industry. Analog, power, digital and sensor technologies are being merged to meet automotive industry requirements. Examples of these developments are cited. Smart sensors are being developed to facilitate distributed processing and address the problem of mass sensor implementation in automotive systems. The smart sensor concept allows easier information sharing between related systems such as chassis control systems (braking, steering, suspension, etc.). The concept and application of smart sensors are discussed. Other key advances in semiconductor technologies for automotive applications are discussed, such as flash NV memory, mechatronics, power consumption issues and vehicular communications protocols. The impact of these technologies on simplifying complex systems development is clarified.
