Engines, Internet security and electronic systems become more complex the automobile, the dashboard must show more control to the driver, including the key measurement instruments, notices, parking assist and collision warning. Freescale Semiconductor [NYSE: FSL] has expanded its technology-based PowerArchitecture Qorivva32-bit microcontroller (MCU), to support next-generation automotive dashboard applications.

    Freescale QorivvaMPC5645SMCU series in the popular series based on the MPC5606S adds some advanced features, such as high-quality digital graphics, dual display and video input (used in spare camera video source), while providing enough processing power to efficient display of data from various internal systems.

    In the past, the car's dashboard or instrument panel is very simple, containing only a few used to measure distance, speed, RPM and fuel level height of analog gauges. The face of today's information needs, space constraints make clear the car's driver to provide a detailed status display as a challenge. Dashboard design calls for using more powerful, RAM more more complex graphics processor to control the display, but also the material costs remain at a lower level. In order to overcome these new challenges, manufacturers need to integrate multiple components in the design, which will increase the cost and complexity of the project. QorivvaMPC5645S By integrating these subsystems into a single chip complexity will be reduced to a minimum.

    Freescale automotive MCU Business Unit Director RayCornyn said, "There is no other car on the market solution can be integrated in the dashboard so many These features high-end graphics and integrated analog functions, to achieve a true single-chip solution programs to help vehicle manufacturers reduce system size and power consumption. "

    In addition to providing a powerful platform, Freescale offers a huge range of products based on Qorivva ecosystem.
