Fujitsu Introduces Controller-Area-Network (CAN) Microcontroller for Automotive Applications

Singapore, 8 July 2004 — Fujitsu Microelectronics Asia Pte Ltd, one of the major players in the Microelectronics and Flat Panel Display Industry today announced the launch of 16bit Microcontroller series with built-in CAN micro, at the Thailand Electronics and Industrial Technology Exhibition 2004.

Fujitsu has been responding to the ever changing demands for the automotive engineering network with leading edge technologies. Automotive is one of the many focuses that Fujitsu has excelled in. Since Fujitsu had first introduced Microcontrollers with built-in CAN macro in the mid 1990s, Fujitsu has been expanding its 16bit Microcontroller series and has now some of the most extensive range of Microcontrollers with CAN Macro built-in. For the high-end automotive application, Fujitsu has also a range of specialized 32bit Microcontrollers which are feature-rich, low-power, high-performance and cost-effective.

Since the introduction of CAN in the automotive industries, CAN is now one of the most widely accepted network within the vehicles. Over the years, industries such as Factory Automation and Healthcare have also adopted this type of network for the reason that CAN has sophisticated functions to support error detection. It is very reliable, robust in communication, has simplified two-wire communication and uses differential voltage of two-wire to reduce noise. CAN specially stands out in the automotive application as the two-wire communication means reduction in cost for the network within the vehicle, lighter in weight (lesser wirings), much more simplified wire-harness design and equipment used within the vehicle.

The Fujitsu CAN Controller is a full CAN Macro that supports ‘CAN Version 2.0B Active’. It means that it can support Identifier of up to 29bit instead of the normal 11bit of a Basic CAN. The Fujitsu CAN also has multiple-message buffer of up to 16 transmitting messages. With the 16bit Microcontroller, it comes with enhanced features such as low-power consumption mode, stepper motor controller, input-capture units, output-compare unit and many timers to support the different applications.
