SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cypress
Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY) today announced it is sampling new
devices in its single-power-supply Traveo™ automotive
microcontroller (MCU) family that provides secure, high-speed
networking for body electronics applications. The new S6J342xxx
series supports the Controller Area Network Flexible Data-rate (CAN
FD) standard for high-speed, in-vehicle networking, enabling large
amounts of data to be exchanged between each CAN node. The MCUs
address the critical need to secure data on in-vehicle networks
with enhanced Secure Hardware Extension (eSHE) support, preventing
unauthorized connections to electronic control units (ECUs). The
new Traveo series continues Cypress's expansion of its broad
automotive portfolio that includes MCUs, wireless radios, memories,
capacitive-touch solutions and Power Management ICs (PMICs).
The Traveo S6J342xxx series leverage Cypress's 40nm embedded
charge-trap (eCT™) Flash technology for higher performance and
reliability. The series delivers rich features and more
cost-efficient implementations for body control modules, heating
ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, collision warning
systems, gateways and lighting applications. The MCUs are based on
an ARM® Cortex®-R5 core with robust, 132-MHz
performance and feature up to 1MB of high-density embedded flash
for application storage. A unique partial wake-up mode allows the
MCUs to minimize average power consumption. Cypress offers a broad
range of variations in the series that enables OEM customers to
easily develop derivative solutions. More information on the Traveo
MCU family is available at http://www.cypress.com/traveo.
"Cars are becoming more connected both externally and
internally, and for in-vehicle networking, our automotive customers
are looking for faster performance with robust security to prevent
ECUs from being hacked," said Takeshi
Fuse, senior vice president of the Automotive Business Unit
at Cypress. "Our new 40nm Traveo MCUs with CAN FD and eSHE support
are optimized to enable secure, high-speed, in-vehicle networking
to a wide range of body electronics applications. The devices add
to the scalability of our Traveo platform, and to Cypress's unique
ability to serve as a one-stop resource for our customers to
develop cost-effective system solutions with advanced
functionality."
Availability
The Traveo S6J342xxx series is sampling now and will be in
production in early 2017. The MCUs are available in a 100-pin
thermally enhanced quad flat package (TEQFP), 120-pin TEQFP,
144-pin TEQFP and 176-pin TEQFP, as well as in a 100-pin low
profile quad flat package (LQFP), 120-pin LQFP and 144-pin
LQFP.
