Automotive Microcontrollers Industry Overview
The global automotive MCU market is moderately fragmented with the presence of prominent players like Infineon Technologies AG, Microchip Technology Inc., NXP Semiconductors, Texas Instruments Incorporated, etc. The competition, frequent changes in consumer preferences, and rapid technological advancements are expected to pose a threat to the market's growth during the forecast period.
- January 2022 - Infineon Technologies announced the extension of its AURIX microcontroller family and the availability of the first samples of its new AURIX TC4x family of 28nm microcontrollers for next-generation eMobility, ADAS, automotive E/E architectures, and affordable artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The new family delivers an upward migration path for the company's leading AURIX TC3x MCU family. It features the next-generation TriCore 1.8 and scalable performance enhancements from the AURIX accelerator suite.
- April 2021 - Nuvoton Technology Corporation launched a new series of Arm Cortex-M0 NUC131U 32-bit microcontrollers for automotive applications, running up to 50 MHz, qualified by AEC-Q100 Grade 2 and build-in Controller Area Network (CAN) 2.0 B interface. It is equipped with a rich peripheral comprising six sets of UARTs, two sets of I2Cs, 1 set of SPI, and 24 channels of 100 MHz PWM to make accurate control to drive both stepping motor or HVAC compressor. 12-bit ADC delivers up to 800 k SPS to sense voltage, current, or temperature sensors for automotive applications to reduce the number of external peripheral components and the form factor of the end product.
