 It's basic transportation. It's the ultimate portable appliance. The modern passenger car is distinguished by a new generation of sophisticated electronics that bring a higher level of utility and pleasure to the driving experience. While these new systems add real value, they pose difficult design challenges as well. Meeting power performance requirements of efficiency over a 1mA to 10A range with the transient response necessary to power the latest processor cores, is the domain of National Semiconductor. National's latest generation of automotive power regulators combine National's preeminence in portable power management, microprocessor power management, ease-of-use power solutions, and high-quality manufacturing.
