Low-power dual PLL frequency synthesisers
A new series of dual phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesisers designed by Fujitsu feature extremely low power consumption, fast lock times and ultrasmall packaging.
Application software written according to the Autosar standard can easily be ported onto Fujitsu microcontrollers.
Autosar was founded to offer a cost-optimised solution to managing the growing complexity of in-car electrics/electronics while simultaneously offering flexibility, scalability, improved quality/reliability and enabling the detection of errors in early design phases.
Over 100 companies have now joined this initiative and are developing software compatible with the Autosar specifications.
Fujitsu and EB, both Autosar premium members, can now provide a complete and seamless Autosar implementation in Fujitsu's RISC (FR) MB91460 MCU series.
The umbrella concept of the MB91460 series will allow support for Autosar to be easily included on future members of the series.
The Autosar software has been developed in close co-operation between Fujitsu and EB.
The EB tresos AutoCore system provides customers with a full featured Autosar standard core for the MB91460 series, which includes the runtime environment (RTE), the Autosar operating system (OS), communication stacks for LIN, CAN and FlexRay and other modules for diagnostic, state management and memory services.
The Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) of the MB91460 series can be provided as a standalone package or as a fully integrated Autosar package.
The Autosar standard core and the FlexRay bus communication are configured through an integrated tool chain, consisting of EB tresos Studio and EB tresos Designer.
The software package currently available is compliant with the Autosar specification V2.0.
The Autosar V2.1 package will be available in Q2 2008.
Fujitsu and EB offer a variety of further support activities and both companies will continue to co-operate on Autosar Phase II to implement Autosar for functional safety features required for next-generation MCUs.
