What is the purpose of Mercedes-Benz chips?

Automotive electronic chips are chips used in vehicles, collectively referred to as automotive chips. They can be categorized into four main types: functional chips MCU (Microcontroller Unit), power semiconductors (IGBT, MOSFET, etc.), sensors, and others. The specific descriptions are as follows: MCU: Primarily connects and controls various peripheral circuits and interface circuits in the vehicle. It acts as the brain of the car, controlling all electronic systems, including suspension, engine control systems, in-vehicle infotainment, wipers and windows, power seats, and other necessary components. Power semiconductors (IGBT, MOSFET, etc.): The full name of the IGBT chip is "Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor," which is a composite fully controlled voltage-driven power semiconductor device composed of BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) and MOS (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor). It is mainly used in new energy vehicles. Sensors: Automotive sensors are input devices for the vehicle's computer system. Their function is to convert various operational conditions of the vehicle, such as speed, temperature of various media, and engine operating conditions, into electrical signals for the computer, ensuring the vehicle operates in the optimal state.
