Mar. 2, 2006Silicon-on-insulator technology optimizes in-vehicle networking
This article explains in detail how and why SOI benefits automotive ICs (smaller die, higher operating temperatures and lower leakage), as well as the impact that these improvements can have on car design itself (lower power budget, simplified networking with less shielding, use of chips in very hot and electrically noisy places, lower manufacturing costs, etc.)
