Automotive Powertrain


Powertrain and under-the-hood systems like electric power steering, turbo-charging, battery charging and gearbox demand high thermal performance from electronics. To meet these challenges, National Semiconductor offers a wide selection of AEC-Q100 qualified power and thermal management die products to perform in environments up to 175 C.

Thermal management products monitor the high-temperatures of under-the-hood applications to ensure efficient and robust system operation. With over 30 years of experience in the thermal management market, National Semiconductor has the #1 market position in analog and digital temperature sensors. National provides automotive customers the highest accuracy temperature sensors with lowest power consumption and smallest packages to address the needs of under-the-hood systems.

National also offers a wide selection of PowerWise® power management products that are ideal for under the hood systems. Many of these high efficiency, high reliability products meet and exceed AEC-Q100 requirements and are available in die form as well as a wide selection of other packages for design flexibility. National’s leadership in power and thermal management makes these products the ICs of choice for the harsh automotive environments of under-the-hood systems.
