At the 7th International Automotive Electronics Technology Expo, which takes place from 14th to 16th January 2015, STMicroelectronics will present its latest automotive solutions. Due to the emergence of technological developments such as the connected car and autonomous driving, the number of semiconductor devices in cars is rapidly increasing. The company’s automotive semiconductor solutions improve both vehicle performance and the integration of next-gen smart-driving systems.

ST will exhibit its ADAS solutions in the form of the EyeQ3, an imaging vision processor jointly developed with Mobileye, which enables vision-based detection of pedestrians, vehicles, signs and lane markings. Transceiver ICs for radars, which emit millimeter waves to measure distance and the direction of obstacles around the vehicle, will also be on display at the show. 

At the its booth, the company will demonstrate the way in which a V2X-enabled vehicle automatically controls brakes by communicating with traffic signals, as well as an automotive-security solution that protects networked vehicles from security threats.

ST will also present a complete sensor portfolio for smart driving that includes both automotive acceleration sensors and gyroscopes, and environment sensors such as MEMS microphones, UV sensors, temperature/humidity sensors, barometric sensors, proximity sensors and MEMS pico-projectors.

At its show, the company will demonstrate a vehicle cockpit equipped with various types of sensors that detect environmental conditions in the car. UV, temperature/humidity and barometric data, as well as the driver's heart-beat will be displayed in the cockpit. 

ST will also exhibit an ECU solution that combines an automotive 32-bit MCU and an engine-control IC, manufactured using its BCD (Bi-polar/CMOS/DMOS) semiconductor process. The company will demonstrate the way in which the MCU calculates the accelerator-pedal step-in amount to control opening/closing of the fuel valve and manage the engine-control IC, which drives the fuel-injection system by measuring the accelerator-pedal step-in amount.

At its booth, the company will demonstrate a vehicle-lighting control system that uses a high-performance high-side switch IC manufactured using its VIPower technology. Operating at 4V, the product family both works with a power-supply voltage lower than that of competitive products and responds to a wide range of on-resistance requirements.
