Hyundai Mobis, the components division of Hyundai Motor Group, is negotiating with fabless chip companies in South Korea to develop self-developed automotive chips. In addition, Hyundai also shared some of its automotive semiconductor specifications. Analysts said that this move reflects the South Korean automaker’s intention to achieve controllability through cooperation with South Korean chipmakers, reduce reliance on foreign semiconductor supply chains, and solve supply problems more quickly. It is reported that Hyundai Motor and Hyundai Mobis recently shared some specifications of the automotive semiconductors they are using with South Korea’s System Semiconductor Company. The list they provided includes eight types of analog semiconductors, including microcontroller units (MCUS), display driver integrated circuits, and power management integrated circuits. Particularly, for MCUS, they demonstrated a design specification of a 32-bit chip based on a 65-nanometer process. IT Home Link: Most of the automotive chips in the industry are imported from overseas. The main sources include Infineon of Germany, ST Microelectronics of Switzerland, NXP of the Netherlands and Texas Instruments of the United States, etc.
