BANGALORE, INDIA: Fujitsu Microelectronics Asia Pte Ltd (FMAL) announced new offerings of its MB91460 Series of high-performance 32-bit microcontrollers for automotive applications with the new MB91F467BA product that can integrate several in-vehicle CAN networks.

With this product’s six-channel CAN controller, which is the most channels provided in the industry, it is possible to realize interconnection and gateway functionality among CAN networks of different speeds, or between CAN and FlexRay. Thus, it is possible for control over combinations of various in-vehicle networks.

The MB91F467BA microcontroller has 1 MegaByte Flash Memory and 32 channels A/D converter as basic function, and can also be used as a main microcontroller for automotive dashboard control and automotive body control.

In recent years, for automobile body and handling control, systems using CAN have been widely adopted, while the speed of in-vehicle networks has increased and the connecting equipment has become very diverse. Subsequently, within the ECUs that controls each electronic component, for the body control ECUs, there is an increasing necessity to control the whole in-vehicle network.

Fujitsu is responding to such needs by adding to the MB91460 Series, the MB91F467BA microcontroller, thus providing an industry top-level high-speed processing at 100MHz. It has body control functionality as well as gateway functionality, which allows integration of several in-vehicle CAN networks.

Within the MB91460 Series, the FR60 CPU core and peripheral functions are common. Also, the series has a common development chip that allows a reduction in software development costs and reuse of customer’s resources.
