Automakers continue to raise industry standards to new heights through new vehicle designs and meet consumer expectations and government regulatory requirements by delivering cars with higher fuel economy and lower emissions. High-performance microcontrollers (MCUs) play an important role in the design of eco-friendly automobiles. Freescale Semiconductor has announced the launch of the first of a series of powerful multi-core automotive MCUs that will help automotive designers improve engine efficiency more easily. Reduce emissions pollution.
Freescale Semiconductor is a leading global semiconductor company that designs and manufactures embedded semiconductor products for the automotive, consumer, industrial and networking markets. The company is headquartered in Austin, Texas, USA, and has a global design, research and development, manufacturing and sales organizations.
Freescale's new multi-core Qorivva 32-bit MPC5676R MCU is built on Power Architecture technology and offers up to 4x performance, a doubling of memory space, and more functionality than previous generation single-core MPC5566 MCUs. The advantages of the MPC5676R allow global automotive manufacturers to incorporate multiple cutting-edge technologies in a single controller, such as direct injection, turbocharger and full drive of the cable system.
Freescale fully understands the key technologies needed to help automotive manufacturers produce greener, more fuel-efficient cars and the importance of it. It has long been working with the automotive industry to jointly develop solutions that meet its latest generation of design needs. In the field of powertrain, Freescale's goal is to produce the most powerful and flexible MCU that can simultaneously manage all the complex control tasks of the latest engines, providing designers with the tools and software platforms needed to reduce system complexity. .
The 90nm dual core MPC5676R MCU comes with:
6MB on-chip flash memory
384KB of on-chip RAM
Three High Performance Enhanced Timing Processor Units (eTPUs)
64-channel 12-bit analog-to-digital converter
CAN and FlexRay communication systems
Knock detection processing on-chip hardware
The device includes two parallel 180MHz 32-bit Power Architecture processors for maximum throughput and software flexibility.
The enhanced performance and features of the MPC5676R meet the competitiveness needed to take a leading position in the automotive industry. The industry-standard Power Architecture core makes it easier for software engineers to reuse legacy code, helping automotive manufacturers reduce costs, even when upgrading to advanced multi-core architectures.
The adaptability and capabilities of the MPC5676R make it an ideal device for a variety of powertrain control applications, including diesel engines, gasoline engines, and natural gas engines, as well as hybrid electric and plug-in electric vehicles. Freescale will continue to work with global automotive OEMs to provide 32-bit MCU solutions that meet the performance requirements required to manage complex powertrain systems.
QorivvaMCU's comprehensive ecosystem
The function and value of the Qorivva microprocessor far exceeds the range of the chip. Each Qorivva MCU has a complete runtime software solution that includes the AUTOSARMCAL driver suite for single-core and multi-core MCUs and the AUTOSAR real-time operating system. In addition, there are several development tools to support Qorivva MCUs, including high-performance compilers and multi-core debuggers from Freescale development partners. Access to the Freescale ecosystem and third-party tools can help reduce application development complexity and debug/verification time during prototype design and software integration.
In addition, the Qorivva Powertrain family is currently supported by new eTPU compilers, debuggers, and simulators that help reduce customer development costs and provide tools for creating advanced engine timer software.
Freescale has a deep technical foundation in the automotive electronics industry and actively participates in various activities of industry associations. Freescale is a founding member of the DSI, FlexRay, and LIN associations, a key member of the AUTOSAR Association, and an active member of the PSI5, JASPAR, and GENIVI associations. In addition, Freescale's Global System Labs and software customization services also support its Power Architecture products.
Each generation of new powertrain control systems is more complex and requires higher computational performance, creating many challenges for designers. As a leading provider of automotive powertrain MCUs, Freescale has worked hard in the field of electronic control to promote the development of the automotive industry and help overcome these challenges. Freescale plans to launch an evaluation kit for the MPC5676R MCU in January 2012. sample.
