ABI Research Finds Unprecedented Growth In Automotive Electronics Spurring Demand For A New Generation of Semiconductors.OYSTER BAY Oyster Bay, uninc. area (1990 pop. 6,687) of the Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau co., SE N.Y., on N Long Island, on Long Island Sound; settled 1653. It is chiefly residential. , N.Y. -- This decade will witness an unprecedented level of growth in the electronics content of an automobile. This trend will be the result of a barrage of emerging advanced automotive safety, engine, infotainment and chassis control technologies, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the findings of a new study from ABI Abi (ā`bī) [short for Abijah], in the Bible, King Hezekiah's mother. (Application Binary Interface) A specification for a specific hardware platform combined with the operating system. Research. Report author Robert LaGuerra states that differing factors around the world are driving this growth for automotive-specific semiconductors. For example, in Europe and Asia, smaller engines are the norm and there is a defined need to match their performance with those of larger displacement engines. To maximize the performance of these smaller engines, advanced engine management technologies including displacement on demand (DoD), variable valve timing Variable valve timing, or VVT, is a generic term for an automobile piston engine technology. VVT allows the lift or duration or timing (some or all) of the intake or exhaust valves (or both) to be changed while the engine is in operation. (VVT VVT Variable Valve Timing VVT Validation, Verification and Testing VVT Variable Volume & Temperature VVT Variable Voltage Technology Ltd VVT Vivid Virtual Theatre VVT Variable View Table ), and direct fuel injection are being aggressively rolled out in these regions. The same is happening in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. , although this is predominantly due to rising fuel costs and CAFE standards. More specifically, new government legislation mandates that automakers must implement advanced airbag safety systems and tire pressure monitoring systems into future car lines. LaGuerra cautions, "Automotive processors are proliferating, but in some applications adding too many components that are intended to make the car more reliable, may actually reduce reliability." He adds that in some situations, the industry will actually look to simplify things using fewer, heavier-duty processors. ABI Research's new study, "Automotive Electronics Systems: Market Requirements for Microcontrollers, Accelerometers, Hall-effect and Pressure Sensors", explores the growing proliferation of automotive electronic components, with a special focus on their semiconductor requirements. The ABI Research study examines all major automotive subsystems and their unique microcontroller needs, including powertrain, infotainment, dashboard and convenience, body and chassis control, and safety systems. The semiconductor study also discusses and explains Hall-effect, tire pressure, and accelerometers sensor technologies and implementation strategies.
