From engine and
transmission control to safety and on-board entertainment, electronics and
microelectronics are steadily pervading all sectors of the automotive industry,
and the automotive semiconductors segment is projected to average annual growth
of 13% over the next five years. ST targets the whole of the automotive field,
where the chip supplier competition is not only based on price and leading-edge
performance, but also on sustained track records for quality and reliability.
During 2001, ST introduced a high-power SoC device
designed for "mechatronic" applications where the electronics section is
physically integrated with mechanical ele-ments, which will be used for a
turbocharger application by DaimlerChrysler. We also secured an agreement with
Delphi Automotive Systems, the largest producer of vehicle systems and
components in the world, to cooperate on the design and development of new
intelligent power IC products. With the launch of XM Satellite RadioÕs
U.S. digital satellite radio, ST received volume orders for the two-chip
receiver chipsets from radio manufacturers including Sony, Pioneer and
Alpine. |
