Summary

Ever since their introduction into the automobile in the 1970s, for engine management applications to meet the California Clean Air Act requirements, microcontrollers (MCU) have played an increasingly critical role in vehicle control. High-end MCU will be the key enablers of future emission controlling powertrain technology, advanced safety and driver assistance systems, and multimedia entertainment products. Application demands unimagined in the 1970s will drive new levels of MCU product innovation and performance. Intense competition will continue among the leading vendors Freescale, Renesas and NEC, within the $5.47 billion marketplace.
