The transition to electric vehicles has created new opportunities for low-power IC applications. Modern EVs contain over 3,000 chips per vehicle, with power management integrated circuits (PMICs) becoming critical for optimizing energy consumption across battery management systems, infotainment, and ADAS components. Recent advancements in gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor technologies have enabled power conversion efficiencies above 98% in some automotive applications, significantly extending vehicle range while reducing thermal management challenges.
