What is a car chip?

[McLaila]

Automotive electronic chips, collectively referred to as automotive chips, are chips used in vehicles. Automotive chips are mainly divided into three categories, as detailed below: 1. Functional chips: Primarily refer to processor and controller chips. For a car to run on land, it relies on an electronic and electrical architecture for information transmission and data processing. The vehicle control system mainly includes several major parts: body electronic systems, vehicle motion systems, powertrain systems, infotainment systems, and autonomous driving systems. Under these systems, there are numerous sub-functions, each of which has a controller behind it. Inside each controller, there is a functional chip. 2. Power semiconductors: Mainly responsible for power conversion, often used in power supplies and interfaces, such as IGBT power chips for electric vehicles, and field-effect transistors (MOSFET) that can be widely used in analog and digital circuits. 3. Sensors: Mainly used in various radars, airbags, tire pressure monitoring, etc.
