Image sensor: covers advanced technologies such as global shutter, rolling shutter, high speed, high dynamic range (HDR), low light / near infrared (NIR) and SOC sensor / processor.

In response to the development of the automotive market, ON Semiconductor actively expands its automotive business. According to the terminal market revenue, the company's auto business revenue in 2014 was US$964 million, accounting for 16% of the company's total global revenue in 2008. Very strong. On August 15, 2014, ON Semiconductor completed the acquisition of Aptina Imaging, which significantly expanded its image sensor business in the automotive market. Today, ON Semiconductor is the world's number one in automotive imaging sensors, start/stop alternators, and automotive adaptive headlamps (AFS).

ON Semiconductor's key market strategy

In China, which ranked first in terms of sales in the automobile market in recent years, car sales in 2014 increased by 8.7% year-on-year to 24 million units, and sales in 2015 are expected to reach 26 million units. The electronic components in automobiles are constantly rising, which are used to improve fuel economy, active safety and comfort, and drive semiconductor growth.

China's auto semiconductor market is expected to grow by 15% year-on-year, which is more than double the global growth expectation. Pedestrian and vehicle accident video recorders and LED lighting will continue to maintain strong growth in the Chinese market.

China's auto market has always been the strategic focus of ON Semiconductor. In 2014, ON Semiconductor's China automotive segment revenue accounted for 12% of total vehicle revenue, and will continue to increase its investment in the Chinese market in the future.

Powertrain, lighting, active safety, body and interior are the four key application areas for ON Semiconductor to match the automotive market. In addition, ON Semiconductor offers a range of products and solutions for power and automotive networks (LIN/CAN, FlexRay and Ethernet) for use in a wide range of automotive applications.

power system

The powertrain is designed for engine control, transmission control, ignition system, throttle control, start/stop system, motor control, electric vehicle (EV) / hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) / plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and 48 Related products and solutions such as V system improve fuel economy and reduce exhaust emissions.

It is estimated that the total market size of China's automotive power system semiconductors will reach US$1 billion in 2015, with a compound annual growth rate of 13.4% and a high growth in the next few years. In the face of increasingly stringent energy conservation and emission reduction regulations, ON Semiconductor provides a corresponding power supply solution for start-stop systems to meet the fuel economy and emission reduction requirements of conventional gasoline vehicles. With the expansion of the scope of automobile purchase restrictions, new energy vehicles are favored by the market as new environmentally friendly vehicles and are expected to accelerate development. ON Semiconductor will provide a wide range of brushless DC (BLDC) motor drives to support automotive electrification and will introduce high-voltage traction IGBTs for HEV power modules in 2015 to address motor control needs.

Lighting system

Lighting system is a key differentiating factor in automotive design, through LED internal and external lighting (including taillights, ambient lights, etc.), high-pressure gas discharge lamps (HID), headlights (including high beam, low beam, LED turn signals) , LED fog lights and high-speed road LED lights), AFS and motor control, etc., enable car manufacturers to improve energy efficiency, enhance visibility safety and create a unique vehicle atmosphere.

In 2015, the total market size of China's automotive lighting semiconductors will reach US$500 million, with a compound annual growth rate of 15.2%, and will have high growth in the next few years. Automotive lighting has always been the advantage of ON Semiconductor. ON Semiconductor offers a range of LED drivers and stepper motor drivers for this type of application, further enhancing safety levels, providing lighting units with high operating temperatures and programmability.

Active safety system

In 2015, China's automotive active safety system semiconductor market will reach 200 million US dollars, with a compound annual growth rate of 22%, and will have high growth in the next few years. Active safety products and solutions cover applications such as ADAS, camera, parking assist/automatic parking, dynamic braking, and suspension control. Based on ultrasonic sensors and CMOS imaging (non-radar) technology, ADAS reduces the complexity of driving operations while reducing and avoiding accidents and improving safety. ON Semiconductor has led the way in ultrasonic parking assist and CMOS image sensor applications.

In the future, each vehicle equipped with an ADAS system will have 10-12 cameras, and the image sensor is a key component of this application. In addition, the regulations on ADAS in Europe and the United States have made the application of image sensors have broad market prospects. By leading the world in automotive image sensors, ON Semiconductor is focusing on ADAS applications, including forward processing of ADAS, such as forward collision warning (FCW), tail collision warning (RCW), and lane departure warning (LDW). Automatic high beam control (AHB), traffic sign recognition (TSR), moving target detection (MOD), pedestrian detection (PD), adaptive cruise control (ACC), blind spot detection (BSD), night vision (NV), etc. In-cabin ADAS, such as passenger monitoring (PM), fatigue driver (DD), driver video recorder (DVR), gesture recognition, etc.; and covers rear view, tail side, front view, panorama, mirror replacement ( MR) and pedestrian/vehicle recorder (PVR), parking aid (PA) viewing angle scheme.
