ADAS

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) employ leading–edge camera, radar and vision systems for safety and autonomous driving. Our automotive–grade MEMS oscillators exceed the reliability, temperature, and shock and vibration requirements for these timing–critical systems.

Infotainment Systems

In–Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) and In–Car Entertainment (ICE) systems deliver convenience, information and entertainment safely and seamlessly to the driver and passengers. The growing requirements for rich media and connectivity increase the system clock tree complexity and performance requirements. Our automotive-grade MEMS oscillators provide a high level of flexibility and integration as well as best–in–class performance that will meet system timing requirements.

Autonomous Driving

Autonomous driving systems employ leading-edge sensing and control technologies to navigate the vehicle without the passenger’s input. Our automotive-grade MEMS oscillators provide the most reliable timing reference to both sensory and control systems as well as robust performance across wide temperature ranges.

In-Vehicle Ethernet

Ethernet connectivity provides the backbone for the next generation of vehicle communications over a single, ubiquitous physical network. For advanced diagnostics, advanced driver assistance or infotainment automotive applications, our Ethernet solutions that are clocked by our automotive–grade MEMS oscillators increase performance while reducing the implementation cost for enabling the smart car.

Instrument Cluster

The instrument cluster is the focal point of the driver, displaying critical information along with the status of various systems within the car. Our automotive–grade MEMS oscillators provide a highly reliable clock source to the System–on–Chip (SoC) and connectivity chips, along with robust performance and excellent temperature stability.

Transmission Control

The Transmission Control Unit (TCU) monitors and controls the operation of the vehicle’s automatic transmission. Input from multiple sensors is processed to optimally select gears to achieve improved engine emissions, fuel consumption, stable handling, and gear shift system reliability. Our automotive-grade MEMS oscillators replace the traditional quartz crystal/oscillator to provide a robust and highly stable clock signal across the automotive grade 1 temperature range.
