The automotive sector is expected to grow significantly over the next decade, at an average rate of 7%, driven by extensive renewal of the existing car fleet. By 2030, the sector will represent a $645 billion business for electronics (data Global Market Insights). The expansion of the car market is linked to a number of factors, starting with the growth of the electric/hybrid phenomenon, which is also significant in Italy (+122% in the last year according to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport). This trend translates into a greater demand for SiC and GaN switches, solutions that operate at high voltages with shorter recharge times and reduced overall losses, which in turn lead to a demand for electronics capable of managing faster power switching and systems capable of supporting power conversion applications (electric motors).

Another trend that should be highlighted is the growing attention to safety on the road, with a greater diffusion of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (Adas), such as rain and twilight sensors, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, etc., which will become mandatory throughout Europe in 2022. The outlook for infotainment solutions is also positive. Reportlinker data indicate an annual growth rate of 10.3%. The trend here is towards precise, flexible, easily programmable and compact power, measurement and control solutions and devices that meet increasingly complex system requirements. Finally, the ecological challenge will continue to have a significant impact on the automotive sector: the Environment Committee of the European Parliament is calling for greater efforts to improve vehicle efficiency in order to reduce C02 emissions by 45% by 2030.

Consystem and Allegro for automotive

In the scenario described will be fundamental the technological contribution of components, which will contribute to the realization of increasingly safe, efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. An important role will be determined by IC for motor drivers integrated with complex switching algorithms, able to simplify the design of a control system (eg DC / DC with Ldo (Low Drop Out), Motor Stepper Drive, Led Driver, brushless DC motors, etc.). Consystem, historical distributor, responds to these new needs of the automotive market by offering the solutions of the Allegro Microsystems, American multinational company in the forefront in the development, production and marketing of integrated circuits with Hall effect sensors. The thirty-year relationship between Consystem and Allegro has meant that it has developed not only a portfolio of innovative solutions, but also a development of complex technical skills, on which the customer can count to have the best solutions on the market. Many Allegro solutions are characterized by the ability to transmit - thanks to proprietary switching algorithms integrated in the IC (integrated circuit) and Gui Software - the parameters via USB to the Eeprom on-chip, where they are used by the on-chip algorithm. This allows, even for those who have no experience in software programming, to design and validate a motor system saving time, lowering the workload on the microcontroller and allowing for some applications, to eliminate the microcontroller.
