About Auto Electronics

Published six times a year, this new issue from Power Electronics Tecnology and RF Design examines the major electronics trends and design issues in the automotive industry today.

Electronic components and semiconductors have utterly transformed automobiles in the past 30 years. From the first electronic engine controls that improved emissions and fuel economy, to the latest pedestrian impact sensors that can discern between a human leg and lamppost in milliseconds, electronics growth in vehicle systems has continued almost unabated as automakers and suppliers race to improve efficiency, safety and comfort.

Growing regulatory pressures over safety and fuel economy are increasing the need for even more sophisticated electronics, while the complexity of some systems is raising quality and customer satisfaction issues.

What’s more, rising gas prices have caused public interest in electronics-intensive hybrids, diesels and fuel cell powered vehicles to soar.

Tapping the expertise of editors from Power Electronics Technology and RF Design, Auto Electronics examines some of the auto industry's most pressing issues from the perspective of the electronics design engineer.
