Moving into Fourth Gear: Market for Discrete Power Semiconductors in Automobiles Revs up with Greater Electronic Content in Automotives

The global markets for power discrete semiconductors in automobiles have received a leg up from the expanding applications of integrated circuits (ICs) in automobiles and the growth of end-user markets. The increased rollouts of hybrids and burgeoning multiplexing trends have further enhanced the roles of discrete power semiconductors and microcontrollers in automobiles.

"Governments’ safety, security, and pollution norms, comfort features, higher electric vehicle parc, and the oil crisis have encouraged the use of electronic content in automobiles in order to eliminate human errors," says the analyst of this research service. "This has had a direct and positive impact on the automotive power discretes markets."

Modular Solutions Eliminate the Complexities of Integrated Discretes

Discretes with higher levels of integration pose numerous problems to manufacturers. The high on-resistance interconnects and complications involved in the isolation of power cause delays in the design cycles and thereby, prolongs the time-to-market. The complex processes necessary to create an integrated solution also often pushes up the product cost. "Having a modular solution that integrates discrete power semiconductors into a small high performance package enhances the performance at a relatively lower cost," notes the analyst. "Another advantage of using the module is better thermal management, as this is one of the key concerns in an automotive environment."

Once all issues relating to discrete power semiconductors are threshed out, the safety, security, telematics, and driver information applications are expected to grow at a startling pace. Asia is expected to become one of the fastest growing markets due to the increasing sales of automobiles in this region. However, it is Europe that is likely to generate the most revenues because of early technology adoption and favorable government regulations that helped standardize applications such as anti-lock braking system (ABS).
