With this technique, arbitrary linearization functions can be selected simply. The proposed digital linearization method overcomes many of the pitfalls of traditional linearization methods, at the expense of some additional hardware and more stringent requirements on the internal voltage reference. The technique can be extended to meet necessary accuracy requirements, though the principal application is low-cost display instrumentation. As a result of this linearization method, a linear output voltage is available for recording or display. A survey of conventional techniques for signal linearization is presented, followed by a description of the proposed technique, including design considerations. A typical application example is included.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":125786,"journal":{"name":"1988., IEEE Workshop on Automotive Applications of Electronics","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129972880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is concluded that those components which must interface directly with the vehicle's supply or system input/outputs need to utilize an appropriate power integrated circuit technology to meet supply and input/output requirements. The demands for increased protection, a safe operating area, and reliability must be addressed at the design level in order to respond to present and future challenges of higher quality and reliability demanded by competitive pressures, such as extended warranties, while meeting cost and performance objectives.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":125786,"journal":{"name":"1988., IEEE Workshop on Automotive Applications of Electronics","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114068023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A direct multiplexed full-color LCD having 320*200 trio dots was developed and applied to a graphic display unit. Through the use of the newly developed COG (chip-on-glass) technology, a small and thin display module was realized. A route guidance indicator was developed using a segment-type LDC and a monochromatic dot-matrix LCD, and it was applied to an actual automotive navigation system. This indicator displays such information as the form and name of crossings as a car approaches it. Not only can it show the extracted principle information, but it can also be mounted at a place near the driver's regular eye position. For these reasons, this indicator is useful for improving the information cognitivity of navigation systems.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":125786,"journal":{"name":"1988., IEEE Workshop on Automotive Applications of Electronics","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131846810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
