Our strength: package innovation and minia turization
Miniaturization without compromising performance
Electronics in cars is increasing and creates a higher demand for smaller packages and further integration. Package miniaturization is
required to further enable performance. Getting smaller while maintaining power has a big advantage: it saves space. The idea is to
do more with less, and it creates a push for smaller parts in each new generation of components and systems.
For small-signal packages, meeting the challenge of miniaturization requires significant innovation in research and development.
The graph below shows NXP’s ongoing ability to support size-constrained applications and assure long-term availability.

Headlamps / rear lights
Airbags
Headlamp and rear light performance has steadily improved throughout the automobile age. Today, modern headlamps not
only respond to steering and suspension dynamics, but also to ambient weather, visibility conditions, the speed of the vehicle,
and the curvature and contour of the road. All this is done by electronic sensors, which react to the surrounding conditions, and
by using GPS signals to anticipate road changes ahead.
NXP technology supports all these developments, including daylight running lights. Our products are housed in DFN2020 packages
that deliver a space-efficient form factor with 100% tin-plated sidepads for optical solder inspection. The new CFP15 packages with
clip-bond technology enable miniaturization Because they offer the same or higher performance on a smaller footprint.
As safety devices, airbags cushion occupants during a crash and protect their bodies from possible impact with interior objects
like the steering wheel or window. Many designs are inflated through pyrotechnic means. Newer side-impact airbag modules
consist of compressed air cylinders that are triggered in the event of a side vehicle impact.
With either type of airbag, special high-temperature Schottky rectifiers, such as the PMEG6010ELR, are used to ensure reliable
function.

Braking systems / ABS
Body-control modules
An anti-lock brake system (ABS) is typically used to help the vehicle maintain contact with the road surface and prevent skidding
during poor braking conditions, such as when the road is icy or wet. A pump motor is used to re-pressurize the ABS during
operation. For single-direction ON-OFF control of the pump motor, with pulse-wide modulation for speed control, MOSFETs like
the BUK9759-60E are often used.
To enable a power efficient DC-DC power supply, even under high-temperature conditions, we recommend our newly released
low-leakage Schottky rectifier PMEG6020ELR.

In automotive electronics, the term “body-control module (BCM)” refers to an electronic control unit responsible for monitoring
and controlling various electronic accessories in the body of the vehicle. The BCM typically controls power mirrors, lights, the
immobilizer system, central locking, and more. The BCM communicates with other on-board computers via the in-vehicle bus,
and its main application is controlling load drivers – that is, actuating low-side switches that in turn perform actions in the
vehicle, such as locking the doors or dimming the overhead lamp.
