Technology solutions for automotive applications
ADAS is driving electric and autonomous vehicle innovation, and LIDAR is critical in showing the way. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) hold the promise of the future of driving, which reduce distractions for drivers that can often lead to accidents on the roadways.
From lane departure assistance and collision avoidance to pedestrian detection, the autonomous driving market for embedded vision solutions means big opportunity for not just drivers but the designers who create new ADAS applications. The market potential, in fact, is expected to balloon to $42.4B by 2021, according to the Embedded Vision Alliance.
ON Semiconductor has all the core technologies for the massive opportunities in vehicle electrification as well. Product offerings include IGBTs, high voltage gate drivers, super junction rectifiers, high voltage MOSFETs, high voltage DC-DC, as well as wide band gap (WBG) developments in silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) for next generation solutions. Beyond silicon development, investments in advanced packaging include high power modules, single/dual sided cooled and dual sided direct cooled packages.

Reducing carbon emissions and dependency on oil can easily be addressed through increasing vehicle efficiency through electrification. We can replace mechanical or hydraulic systems with electric systems by electrifying light vehicles in a variety of application. For instance, we can address hydraulic power steering with electric power steering or mechanical or hydraulic pumps, such as a water pump, with an electric pump.
