The programmable supercomputer on wheels
By Joel Seely (Altera Corporation)
Summary:
Total costs associated with sophisticated automotive electronics systems are rising. While automotive electronics now account for 22 percent of a vehicle's cost, industry analysts project that this figure will increase to at least 40 percent by 2010. As these systems continue to evolve with rapidly changing requirements, manufacturers strive ... (continues)

Mixed signal ICs enable auto intranets
By Herve Branquart (AMI Semiconductor)
Summary:
Recent figures from Gartner Dataquest indicate annual automotive semiconductor consumption rising from $17.3 billion to $24 billion between 2004 and 2008. Subsequently, as vehicle electronic content grows, engineers must seek increasingly integrated and cost-effective solutions for the control of, and interface to, in-vehicle systems. This, i...
