Since the I2C components such as EEPROMs have to withstand more difficult environmental influences and higher requirements, various IC manufacturers offer components specially made for this purpose.

The interface simplifies configuration and integration and facilitates interoperability of components supplied by different vendors.

I3C has a dynamic address assignment process that standardizes a simple method of recognizing, listing and assigning addresses.

Automotive Audio Bus (A2B) from Analog Devices, enables the next generation of infotainment systems in the fast-changing automotive industry.

As more consumer devices (such as phones, tablets, and laptops) support USB-C and Power Delivery, the need for USB-C and Power Delivery ports in cars increases.

Because of this, a profound change has taken place in the memory industry as the automobile has become a main driver of memory technologies.

A major challenge for semiconductor manufacturers also arises from the product life cycles that are common in industry and automotive engineering.

Probably the most essential requirement of automotive microcontroller families is clearly the technical security to be brought with them, which is clearly different from consumer device or communication applications.

The CAN (Controller Area Network) bus was developed by Bosch in 1983 to reduce the weight of cable harnesses in vehicles.
