Industrial & home appliances
System solutions from FME are powering the demands of European industrial and home appliance manufacturers – in particular for safety and reliability at highly competitive price/performance points.
Solutions based on microcontrollers benefit from FME’s broad range of general-purpose 8-, 16-, and high-performance 32-bit RISC embedded MCUs, together with specific specialised ICs for peripheral control. Fully-featured CAN bus protocol controllers are ideal for industrial and home automation applications.
Reliable, cost-effective performance
Dependable applications are assured thanks to the reliability of FME Embedded Flash technology, along with on-chip watchdogs and power brownout detection.
Complementing these solutions is an expanding family of graphic display controllers specially optimised for embedded systems. Featuring video input and many 2D and 3D rendering functions, there is a flexible layer concept, support for screen resolution of up to XGA (1024x768) and interfaces to allow direct connection with embedded CPUs and MCUs.
Our comprehensive set of development services and tools accelerates time-to-market and eases the integration headache. As well as starter kits, application notes and software samples, FME offers an integrated, free-of-charge development tool, which provides a consistent environment across the full range of Fujitsu MCUs. There are also emulation tools and a choice of real-time operating systems.
Forward in partnership
Feedback from leading white-goods manufacturers is embodied in the latest generation of 8-bit MCUs, which provide LCD controller and embedded Flash ROM options. Next-generation end-products will offer on-chip TCP/IP stacks for home networking and Internet access, brushless AC motor control enabling quieter, more energy-efficient products, and seamless links to larger, full-colour graphic displays.
Integration is supported by the Microcontroller Design Centre in Frankfurt, Germany: the focus of FME’s partnerships with Europe’s OEM suppliers, and associated consultants, hardware and software providers.
The home of the future is connected, quiet and efficient with Fujitsu.
