Migrating consumer electronics to the automotive market

Automotive consumers are demanding more than just transportation from their vehicles, in the form of connected cars and increasingly elaborate infotainment systems, all of which must be developed and supported by IC manufacturers. New expectations of how cars are designed, built, and driven provide burgeoning opportunities for semiconductor vendors to develop new chips for this market, providing they can meet the reliability challenges inherent in automotive electronics applications.

Successfully migrating electronics from the consumer market to automotive integration

The demand for automotive electronics presents a great opportunity for new entrants into this market, but only if they can meet the reliability challenges necessary for these types of applications. Leveraging EDA tools like the Calibre PERC reliability platform to ensure accurate IC reliability verification while achieving compliance with industry standards like ISO 26262 can provide IC vendors with new and expanded market channels, and their customers with valuable new and enhanced products, as well as quality and operational confidence.
