Analog and Infineon align roadmaps

Analog Devices and Infineon are to collaborate on the development of next generation airbag systems.

The partnership will ensure their roadmaps align and that sensors and chipsets can interoperate. "By aligning [our] airbag specific product roadmaps, we will trim interoperability risks, help cut system development costs and enable carmakers and system suppliers to focus more of their development resources on crash algorithm development and product differentiation," said Claus Geisler, senior vice president of Infineon's automotive division. * Meanwhile, recognising the importance of Europe in the automotive sector, ADI has created a European automotive sales and marketing organisation, to be led by Stefan Steyerl, previously director of the company's European dsp activities.
