Introduction to General-Purpose Products for Automotive Electronics

Features of General-Purpose Linear ICs
General-purpose linear ICs, such as operational amplifiers and comparators, are used mainly in engine control units to process analog signals, including amplification or comparison of sensor signals. This field requires higher quality and reliability than other fields, as well as a wider operating temperature range.
To meet these requirements, NEC Electronics not only operates a quality control program tailored to automotive electronics, but also offers products subjected to 100 % high temperature operation tests so that they can operate properly at up to 125 degrees centigrade.
