CMOS Gate Arrays for Automotive Applications

A new CMOS gate array has been developed which features medium speed, wide operating voltages and a mature, very reliable CMOS process.

A wide variety of CAD tools are available including full simulation and automatic route packages, significantly reducing development times associated with semi-custom gate arrays.

Some review of CMOS principles will be presented as well as how these principles relate to automotive applications, e. g. wide operating voltage.

Finally, specific overview gate array automotive applications will be discussed.
