Microcomputer Technology for Truck and Vehicle Applications

The decision to use a microcomputer in an automotive application is often far easier than the choice of which particular microcomputer to use. The wide range of applications places an equally wide range of demands on the microcomputer. Three application examples (engine control, antiskid braking, and dashboard control) will be used to demonstrate how a microcomputer can be selected for a given application by a combination of classical benchmarking techniques and key feature extraction.
