most widely used microcontroller

Hi!!!
Can any one tell me the most widely used micro-controller in automotives(cars) and the related book ans i am doing my project in it .........

Hi

Each and every systems are using specific microcontrollers. Motorola HCS12X is very famous in Brake System, Suspension and steering system design.
You can get lot of info about this from www.freescale.com

Like this Hitachi Controllers are famous in body electronics and Renasas is famous in car infotainment systems. You can visit those websites and see the applications and applications notes....those will help you

Hi,
Microchip is in a big way with CAN Bus and sensors, the manufacturing rules and certification required for automobile electronics are very strict in europe and US, Microchip has got an automotive electronics development division to act as an interface between Auto manufactures and PIC users. Talk to Microchip

Motorola is the most widely used.
The reason is the CAN bus protocols.
The complexity of the protocols used are such that the costs of developing compliant systems are so high that it is more economical to buy pre-built compliant can libraries . The defacto supplier of can system software is Vector with programs such as Canalyser and Canoe. The libraries sold by vector recommend Motorola micros as the code is developed with them.

Besides resurrecting a real old thread, a couple corrections:
!. CAN is most definitely not from Motorola nor from Freescale as Motorola has not been doing semiconductors for approx. 5 years now, get used to it.
2. Vector has drivers for Freescale, Infineon, NXP, Renesas, NEC... just to name a few.

It is correct, that Freescale is #1 in overall automotive microcontroller sales, Infineon second, don't know about the other ones in ranking
