Si-Gate has developed a versatile automotive data logger suitable for gathering important vehicle information in real time.
"This added feature is answering our customer requests for a serious hardware offering for this up and coming communication network system".
"It provides a viable solution for a FlexRay to CAN gateway", said Robert Newberry, CEO of Si-Gate.
The Si-Gate X-1500 is a complete 32bit field configurable ECU platform, combining the highly popular 32bit ARM7TDMI-S or Xilinx MicroBlaze processor core with standard system-on-chip peripherals and over 150 user programmable I/Os.
It is contained within a Xilinx Spartan-3 1.5 million gate FPGA with programmable logic for custom driven IP applications, a robust memory subsystem, and a full suite of automotive and industrial peripherals.
The X-1500 enables programmable system-on-chip applications and expands traditional development platforms by including necessary physical layers onboard the ECU.
In addition to the newly added FlexRay interface, the X-1500 also supports physical layers for 10/100 Ethernet, JTAG, USB 2.0, 12bit ADC, high and low speed CAN, LIN, K-Line, UART and SPI along with onboard Flash memory and SRAM.
The Si-Gate X-1500 provides designers with a configurable ECU right out of the box suitable for a wide range of automotive and industrial applications.
The X-1500 is ideal for projects where flexibility and expandability is needed for future ECU developments.
