Automotive Applications

Automotive design engineers are focused on quality and design innovation, and at NEC Electronics America, we understand the critical importance of both requirements. Creativity drives the components we provide, the software we employ and the standards we promote. Quality is behind the manufacturing and support services we offer, enabling you to confidently achieve your complete design goals.

Quality
"Living Quality" is the standard by which all things are done. When you choose NEC Electronics, you make a choice to embrace quality products, quality manufacturing, quality assurance, quality service and quality support. In its commitment to these expansive quality initiatives, NEC Electronics provides customers with the clear benefits of local service, supported by the full global resources of NEC Electronics Corporation.

With such an intense focus on quality, NEC Electronics publicly prides itself on offering the highest-quality products possible. Our global product research and coordinated customer needs analyses ensure that NEC Electronics creates the right products with the right features to meet your needs, both today and tomorrow. Our products are manufactured in facilities that maintain ISO TS-16949-conformant quality management systems and have been proven in demanding automotive applications for over twenty years. Additionally, our own internal "zero defects" initiative for integrated device manufacturing processes employs rapid analysis and feedback practices, continuous improvement efforts, engineering expertise and "human sensor" activities. As a result, production line defects continue to shrink.

Innovation and Performance
NEC Electronics offers semiconductor solutions that have continued to grow in step with our customers' innovations. In its April 2008 report, Gartner Dataquest rated NEC Electronics the number one supplier worldwide of 32-bit microcontrollers (based on revenue from shipments), a position that underscores NEC Electronics' commitment to anticipating customer needs and to developing innovative, high-performance solutions.

Flexibility
With vast experience in semiconductors and a thorough understanding of the automotive market, NEC Electronics knows the importance of flexibility. As development times continue to compress, our global manufacturing capabilities provide the products you need, when you need them. Through partnerships with leading industry vendors, we have increased device compatibility with major third-party software technologies. At the same time, we've continued to innovate our own software and hardware tool chains to increase functionality, improve ease of use and lower costs.

So come take a quality drive with us. As you continue to push the limits of automotive engineering, NEC Electronics will be ready with the right technology and devices to help you make your designs a reality.
