STMicroelectronics successfully designs Automotive ICs with Eldo

Widely-adopted by the automotive IC industry, the Bipolar, CMOS, DMOS (BCD) technology for intelligent power applications invented by STMicroelectronics has benefited automotive IC designers and their consumers for over a decade. The BCD technology (Figure 1) has required innovative techniques to ensure that automotive ICs can stand up to the harsh environments and high-reliability requirements that are key to automotive technology such as airbags, ABS, fuel injectors, power steering, and 800-volt hybrid electric vehicle power systems.
