Fujitsu to Showcase New Microcontrollers, Graphic Display Controllers, Biometrics at Annual Embedded System Conference in San Jose, Booth 1618

Next Steps in WiMAX Development to be the Focus of Standards Panel Presentation on April 6

Sunnyvale, CA, March 29, 2006 — Fujitsu Microelectronics America, Inc. (FMA) will feature its new product and technologies including its 8-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers, FlexRay™ ASSPs, 1394 evaluation boards, biometric sensor ICs and graphics display controllers at the annual Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose April 3-7.

Fujitsu will also present an update on its leading-edge WiMAX™ technology, focused on the next steps in the development, certification, and implementation of WiMAX base-station and subscriber-station systems. Reza Golshan, director of System ASIC Development at FMA, will speak on the future of WiMAX at the Wi-Fi and WiMAX Standards Updates Panel session on Thursday, April 6, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.

At booth 1618, Fujitsu will introduce the latest in its F²MC family of low-power, high-speed MCUs for the consumer electronics and appliance markets. The MCUs include the 8-bit MB95F146 for power supply and remote-control A/V device management, and the MB95F156H for portable devices and household equipment such as air conditioners. Fujitsu will also demonstrate the latest FR series 32-bit RISC MCUs, including the MB91F479 for household appliances that require energy efficiency and low-noise operation. In addition, Fujitsu is announcing that the popular µC/OS-II real-time operating system from Micrium has been ported to the Fujitsu MB9140x family of 32-bit network security ICs.

New MCUs, GDCs, FlexRay Development Kit for the Automotive Industry

The company will showcase new products developed for the automotive market, including the following:

• The newly announced two-dimensional graphics display controller, the MB86276, targeted to meet the needs of North American automotive suppliers, with OS support from industry leaders;
• Fujitsu’s innovative FlexRay ASSP board, designed to assist companies who are beginning product development using the FlexRay communications protocol;
• A new development kit built for customers designing in-vehicle entertainment systems based on the industry’s first IDB-1394b IC single-chip solution, which Fujitsu introduced in late 2005.

Two of Fujitsu’s fingerprint sensor ICs will be demonstrated at the conference: the MBF200 USB single- touch sensor for physical access applications, and the MBF310 Sweep Sensor, which delivers very high resolution for computer and peripheral applications. Fujitsu’s easily integrated biometric sensor ICs feature ultra-low-power operation and advanced algorithms that support product development.
