On the vent of new energy vehicles, Fujitsu used FRAM to take off

In recent years, Germany, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, India and other countries have clearly defined the time nodes for the elimination of fuel vehicles and the development of new energy vehicles. Undoubtedly, the rapid development of new energy vehicles has been formed. Whether it is the tire pressure monitoring of traditional cars, information entertainment, airbags or battery management systems for new energy vehicles, battery packs and other major electronic systems, reliable real-time data monitoring and storage are required. On the other hand, the rise of autonomous driving and ADAS technology indicates that the demand for access to various types of sensor data is enhanced by in-vehicle electronic control systems, especially in applications where data reading and storage requirements such as automotive radar and car cymbal are high. The application of FRAM can make a big difference!

Feng Yixin: After 2038, new energy vehicles will become the mainstream of alternative fuel vehicles

Since FRAM is a non-volatile memory, it not only enables high-speed random access, but also has high write endurance characteristics, so it can meet the needs of the automotive market with optimal performance. Currently, FRAM devices support real-time and continuous data storage in applications such as airbag data storage, accident data loggers, battery management systems, automotive driver assistance systems, and navigation and infotainment systems, while reducing system complexity and data Integrity. Fujitsu Electronics' new FRAM products for vehicles can provide up to 10 megabytes of writes with an operating voltage range of 1.8 to 3.6V and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. This wide temperature range meets the automotive market standard. And industrial application needs in high temperature environments.

In automotive radar, car vocal, GPS and other applications, FRAM can show its talents

The ADAS system requires that all subsystems of the vehicle electronics, such as sensors, cameras, CAN communications, in-vehicle HMIs, etc., must store current status information in real time and continuously for real-time monitoring, recording, analysis or processing. Similarly, in TPMS applications in the ADAS segment, reliable low-power, high-speed writes and high-endurance data processing are required. Under such stringent specifications, FRAM memories with non-volatile, high-speed write and high write endurance meet the reliability and delay-free requirements required for autonomous driving.

Feng Yixin, director of Fujitsu's electronic product management department, said: "Fujitsu hopes to promote the upgrading of China's auto industry through the power of FRAM. At the same time, Fujitsu is very welcome and willing to cooperate with MCU, main control and other solution manufacturers to select FRAM products to match the design of automotive applications. Total solution." It is reported that Fujitsu's FRAM application for Pirelli tire pressure monitoring function is used in Fujitsu's FRAM with some ASICs, sensors, etc. for SiP packaging. "As the ADAS technology becomes more mature, FRAM's opportunities in this automotive field are also growing." Feng Yixin pointed out to the consulting engineers at the scene.

Face value and technology role, virtual instrument solutions do not let

With the advancement of automobile intelligence, the virtualization of automotive instrumentation has been popularized from the high-end market to the terminal market. Fujitsu began to promote virtual instrument solutions in 2012, which is a key force in the industry's instrument virtualization. Land Rover, Volvo, Audi, Ford, Toyota and other auto manufacturers have successfully cooperated with Fujitsu. According to official data, the Jade series and the virtual instrumentation scheme of the Emerald series have been used for more than one million applications for many years. The virtual instrument solution is the coolest and most attractive part of the Fujitsu booth.

Fujitsu, which started promoting automotive virtual instrument solutions five years ago, has gained a lot of money.

This year's SAECCE Fujitsu brought a dedicated SOC solution based on the Triton-C series of virtual instruments. The chip integrates GDC and GPU, includes two powerful ARM Cortex-A9 processors, and includes a unique SEERIS engine for instrumentation applications, as well as OpenGL ES 2.0 technology and shader graphics engine. With six independent video inputs and three independent video outputs, the Triton-C also offers a rich peripheral portfolio. These features make Triton-C an attractive component that delivers dynamic and exciting 3D content for high-resolution screens.

The high-value full virtual instrument complete development kit interface is very eye-catching.

The trend of virtual instrumentation has great design integration difficulty for domestic traditional instrument manufacturers, and the complete software and hardware development platform helps to achieve ultra-low power consumption, reduce the low cost of the whole machine and shorten the development cycle. “Fujitsu has been promoting the all-instrument toolchain since two years ago – providing fully supported solutions from toolchains, OS, software to complete hardware, supporting the critical phase of full virtual instrumentation from sample to production at minimal cost. Du Fudan, director of Fujitsu's automotive product management department, pointed out that "and Fujitsu's flexible and hardware-integrated design makes it easy to replace it, making the entire solution more flexible. Fujitsu also offers a rich 2D, 3D driver library, menu. Samples and sample samples allow manufacturers to design virtual instruments to be handy."
