MCU for automotive engine control has 3.75 MB flash memory
Renesas Technology America, Inc., has announced the SH72546R automotive powertrain control MCU, which combines a 3.75 MB on-chip flash memory with 200 MHz operation. The SH72546R is the third in Renesas Technology's line of SuperH high-performance control MCUs to employ the 90 nm process node to integrate large-capacity flash memory.
ESP sensor measures yaw rate and acceleration
Bosch Automotive Electronics claims that its SMI540 is the world's first micromechanical inertial measurement unit for vehicle dynamics control in low-cost SOIC16w housing. The unit opens up new development possibilities for the ESP electronic stability program.
Philips Lumiled rolls headlight LED
Philips Lumileds has released a solid-state power LED for automotive headlight applications. The Luxeon Altilon power LEDs enables headlamp designers to rethink the look and function of forward lighting, the company claims.
Eclipse plug-in for Universal Debug Engine supported microcontroller architectures
A plug-in, provided with the Universal Debug Engine (UDE) 2.6 from pls Programmierbare Logik & Systeme (Lauda, Germany) at no extra cost, enables a separate debug perspective for Eclipse-based platforms. The tool, offered as a feature installation package, offers in contrast to other conventional market solutions the advantage that the complete functionality of the UDE as cross debugger under Eclipse is retained without having to compromise. It can be installed with Eclipse's own mechanism. Operation in "RCP stand-alone application mode" is also possible.A plug-in, provided with the Universal Debug Engine (UDE) 2.6 from pls Programmierbare Logik & Systeme (Lauda, Germany) at no extra cost, enables a separate debug perspective for Eclipse-based platforms.
