How many integrated circuit products do you need to produce a car?

In the past, it usually took about 500-600 chips to make a traditional car.

With the continuous development of the automobile industry, the automobile is gradually changing from mechanical to electronic, and the automobile is becoming more and more intelligent, so the number of chips needed is naturally more. It is understood that in 20021year, the average number of chips needed for each car has reached more than 1000.

Main information:

In addition to traditional cars, new energy vehicles are the "big family" of chips. This kind of vehicle needs a large number of DC AC inverters, transformers, converters and other components, and the demand for IGBT, MOSFET, diode and other semiconductor devices is also greatly increased. A better new energy vehicle may need about 2000 chips, and the demand is amazing.

Li Shaohua, Deputy Secretary-General of China Automobile Industry Association, pointed out that the chip scale of the global semiconductor industry is between 300 billion and 400 billion dollars. Among them, automobile chips are about 40 billion US dollars, accounting for less than 10%, which will obviously cause a weak situation for automobile enterprises when arranging production or competing for orders.

Chip (also called integrated circuit) refers to a silicon chip with integrated circuit, which is very small. In electronics, it is a way of circuit miniaturization (mainly including semiconductor devices and passive components, etc. ), usually fabricated on the surface of a semiconductor wafer.
