Ever more stringent emissions regulations as well as increasing fuel economy requirements of vehicle owners have revolutionized the requirements in powertrain control applications.
Increasingly sophisticated transmissions using dual-clutch solutions to eliminate torque converter losses and improve gearchange time require integration of or high-speed communication between gearbox and engine management controllers.
ST provides silicon solutions for a broad range of Engine Management Systems, from motorbikes and scooters to multi-cylinder Gasoline Direct Injection and common-rail diesel engines as well as transmission control and actuation.
Thanks to a wide ASIC and ASSP product range, ST can propose solutions for cost-effective highly integrated systems up to the most advanced multi-cylinder DCT drive-by-wire solutions.
