DENSO, Freescale and TRW Join Forces to Form Distributed System Interface (DSI) Consortium.New Consortium to Drive Further Development and Deployment of Automotive DSI (Dynamic Systems Initiative) An umbrella term for a suite of Microsoft products that help manage the Windows environment in large enterprises. DSI was introduced in 2003. Bus Standard TOKYO -- DENSO Corporation, Freescale Semiconductor Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. is an American semiconductor manufacturer. It was created by the divestiture of the Semiconductor Products Sector of Motorola in 2004. Freescale focuses their integrated circuit products on the automotive, embedded and communications markets. and TRW Automotive Holdings TRW Automotive Holdings NYSE: TRW is a supplier of automotive parts to manufacturers and aftermarket dealers. [1]. It was created out of a sell-off of parts of the former TRW corporation. Corp. have joined together to form an industry consortium to drive further development and deployment of the Distributed Systems Distributed systems (computers) A distributed system consists of a collection of autonomous computers linked by a computer network and equipped with distributed system software. Interface (DSI) standard. DSI is the automotive industry's most widely adopted bus standard used to connect remotely placed sensors to the main airbag electronic control unit (ECU) in automobiles. The consortium will actively seek broader industry participation to enhance the capability of bus systems, while also expanding the range of applications beyond automotive and into industrial control and networking. Consortium members will be free to use the DSI standard and will be able to influence the development of future generations of the DSI standard. "With the establishment of this consortium, we expect acceleration in the development of advanced competitive DSI standards that have higher performances and lower costs, as well as help expand the DSI standard in the market," said Mitsuhiko Masegi, DENSO's managing officer responsible for the Information & Safety Systems Business Group. With this announcement, the DSI Consortium unveils DSI 2.5, the next-generation standard. The consortium will also work to develop the DSI 3.0 standard, which will aim to increase bus performance such as electromagnetic compatibility (hardware, testing) Electromagnetic Compatibility - (EMC) The extent to which a piece of hardware will tolerate electrical interference from other equipment, and will interfere with other equipment. (EMC (1) (EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, www.emc.com) The leading supplier of storage products for midrange computers and mainframes. Founded in 1979 by Richard J. Egan and Roger Marino, EMC has developed advanced storage and retrieval technologies for the world's largest companies. ) signature and transmission speed. The DSI protocol has been adopted by the world's leading supplemental restraint system (SRS SRS, SRS-A see slow-reacting substance. ) airbag manufacturers. Currently, more than a dozen automotive OEMs have included DSI-based systems in their vehicles. DSI-compliant products have been in production for many years. Demand for airbag-related systems is driven by legislation, consumer influences and automotive growth in emerging markets. "As automotive airbag systems continue to become more sophisticated and require more collision detection See CSMA/CD and collision avoidance system. (networking) collision detection - A class of methods for sharing a data transmission medium in which hosts transmit as soon as they have data to send and then check to see whether their transmission has suffered a collision with sensors, car manufacturers face pressures to reduce cost while enhancing safety," said Tom Deitrich, senior vice president and general manager of Freescale's RF, Analog and Sensors Group. "This consortium will enable implementers of the DSI safety bus to participate in the evolution of the standard and to continue providing robust, high-speed communications for the growing number of collision sensors planned to be used in new vehicles." "As a global leader in the development of active and passive safety systems, TRW TRW The Real World (TV reality show) TRW The Right Way TRW Tactical Reconnaissance Wing TRW The Retriever Weekly (University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD) TRW Thompson Ramo Wooldridge Inc looks forward to the further development of advanced network protocols and is already at work on enhanced future generations for DSI," said Martin Thoone, vice president of TRW Electronics Engineering.
