Market Restraining Factors-

Operational Failures in Extreme Climatic Conditions

• The operation of these devices may be less efficient at their extreme operating temperatures (freezing environment as well as extremely hot). This underlines that the applications in the market for automotive microcontrollers for these two types of environment are severely strained. Microchips are usually susceptible to suffering heat damage or have a signal that is too weak thus perfection of the runway lighting system by proper spacing of components away from each other is necessary to ensure serviceability. In opposite to the last one, resistance is lowered and becomes more stable when it reaches the ideal temperature. On the other hand, freezing is incompatible to microcontrollers because it leads to their temporary stay stopped. It is not only able to work without freezing down to -25 ° C and as high as + 150 ° C, but on average as well.
