Automobile manufacturers have offered air conditioning in luxury cars for over 40 years. Today, virtually all cars are available with air conditioning. Basic air conditioning has evolved over the years into a complex climate control system with many advanced features such as multi-zone air distribution and sensing, and intelligent interior sunlight sensing to optimize interior air temperature. Vishay components for climate control cover a broad range of functions, including power supply (linear regulation, SMPS), backlighting, switching, optical sensing, and user interface.
