Top 12 automotive ICs come together
A new brochure provides details of the top 12 automotive ICs from Elmos Semiconductor.
The IC E910.54 is a FlexRay single transceiver, its counterpart, the E910.55, has additional functions such as a network controlled wake-up function which supports the energy saving mode of the downstream processor.
The IC E910.56 is a star coupler, which is able to substitute up to four single transceivers.
This component also contains a wake-up function through the network and has an SPI diagnostic interface, showing that intelligent active FlexRay nodes can be constructed space-efficiently at a reasonable cost.
Optimised EMC allows all three ICs to run at high datarates up to 10Mbit/s.
In addition, the components feature extensive error detection and diagnosis capabilities, which can be activated over a standard SPI interface from the host processor.
This way malfunctions on one segment of the network can be kept away from other bus segments by independent or controlled turning-off by the processor via SPI.
"With these innovative components we offer a reliable basis for the composition of a FlexRay network in automobiles".
"In the past weeks all components have successfully passed important development and quality milestones".
"First samples will be presented to our customers for testing purposes very soon", says Dr Frank Rottmann, member of the board of management for sales and development of Elmos Semiconductor.
