Car body and convenience applications are evolving to increase the comfort of both drivers and passengers. Vehicle manufacturers need solutions that have the flexibility to cover a wide range of car models and a broad range of options. These solutions need to communicate increasing amounts of data to enable decentralized control, enhanced functional safety levels, as well as efficient diagnostic and maintenance capabilities. Body control modules (BCM) are increasingly being used to control multiple vehicle functions, with integration becoming a key discriminator. Cost-effective flexible semiconductor solutions for BCMs depend upon having the right technology for the application needs.
