This paper presents a high-side switch driver IC capable of improving the current sensing accuracy and providing reverse battery protection. Power semiconductor switches used to replace relay switches are encumbered by two disadvantages: they are prone to current sensing errors and they require additional external protection circuits for reverse battery protection. The proposed IC integrates a gate driver and current sensing blocks, thus compensating for these two disadvantages with a single IC. A p-sub-based 90-V $0.13-{\mu}m$ bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process is used for the design and fabrication of the proposed IC. The current sensing accuracy (error ${\leq}{\pm}5%$ in the range of 0.1 A-6.5 A) and the reverse battery protection features of the proposed IC were experimentally tested and verified.

The automotive ECU(Electronic Control Unit) becomes more complicated and is demanding many functions. For example, many automobile companies are developing driver convenience systems such as power window switch, LCM(Light Control Module), mirror control system, seat memory. In addition, many researches and developments for DIS(Driver Information System) are in progress. It is dangerous to operate such systems in driving. In this paper, we implement the speech recognition system which controls the car convenience system using speech, and apply the preprocessing filter to improve the speech recognition rate in car noise environment. As a result, we get the good speech recognition rate in car noise environment.
