Embedded 32 Bit RISC Solutions from Fujitsu

Introduction

Modern automotive and industrial designs demand higher computing power combined with a high degree of integration. Efficient data collection, data processing and distribution are essential and need a large number of communication interfaces such as CAN, FlexRay and LIN as well as a large on-chip memory capacity.

Fujitsu’s latest MB91460 family has been designed in close co-operation with major automotive customers worldwide and inherits the high-performance core of Fujitsu’s proprietary FR MCU architecture. This high computing performance combined with powerful peripheral functions and features supports a wide range of applications and offers a high grade of flexibility to provide superior solutions for automotive, computer peripheral, industrial, and consumer applications.

The FR family features a bus architecture that allows the integration of proven resources available to the Fujitsu F²MC-16 Family of 16-bit microcontrollers and uses the commands set required for such integration. Furthermore, added commands address bit operation, peripheral control, direct memory-to-memory transfer, and stack generation/release, to ensure optimum overall operation. The FR family combines the ease of use of 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers with the high code efficiency and the superb performance of RISC MCUs.

Some devices offer an external bus interface which can be connected to Fujitsu’s stand alone Flexray controller or to the latest generation of graphics controllers in order to build full-featured dashboards, driver information and advanced driver assistance systems.

Fujitsu and external partners offer a full set of development tools such as starter kits, hardware- and software-debuggers and third-party supported automotive operating systems like AUTOSAR and OSEK.
