European Microcontroller Design Centre
EMDC is housed in Fujitsu's European headquarters near Frankfurt
The European Microcontroller Design Centre (EMDC) was established in July 1997 at Fujitsu FME's European headquarters near Frankfurt. The Centre represents a major investment in a market area of great strategic significance. It handles design projects and development support involving both standard microcontrollers and customised products.
Fujitsu can provide the basis for solutions to numerous applications from its wide portfolio of 8, 16 and 32 bit microcontroller devices. The Centre is focusing on some of the largest sectors for microcontrollers - automotive, industrial, and audio/video.
One of the Centre's key tasks is to adapt standard Fujitsu products, tailoring them in response to the specified requirements of major European customers.
In the automotive marketplace, critical areas on which the Centre concentrates, include instrumentation, navigation, and in-car communications. The CAN protocol controller forms the focus for the Centre. The majority of Fujitsu's CAN devices are designed in Europe.
