Sensors for automotive applications: Challenges and solutions

Abstract

One of the main drivers of today's IC industry is the electrification of the car, which is a trend that has been already ongoing for several decades. This trend has led to an increasing need for more measurement and control in automotive systems, tasks for which high performance angular, speed and torque sensors are essential components. To enhance the car's comfort, safety and efficiency, these sensors are applied in power steering, ABS and motor management systems respectively. Accordingly, driving experience is increased.
