Fujitsu Launches LSI Chip for Car Navigation Systems and Digital Dashboards.Tokyo, Japan, Apr 10, 2007 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) Newswire) - Fujitsu Limited today announced the development and release of a new large-scaled integrated (LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. ) chip for in-car automotive systems See ITS, embedded system, drive-by-wire, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance system, autonomous vehicle, heads-up display, DSRC, lane departure system, CAN bus, FlexRay and SYNC. , such as navigation and digital dashboards. The new System-on-Chip (SoC), the MB86R01, integrates various functions on a single chip, such as ARM(TM) core, 2D and 3D graphic capabilities, in-car networking features, and support for various media interfaces. The chip includes an embedded graphic-display controller from Fujitsu, of which over 12 million units have been shipped, for in-car automotive applications. This will enable low-cost, compact, in-car systems that feature high-resolution graphics, while continuing to leverage existing software resources. In recent years, the Years, The the seven decades of Eleanor Pargiter’s life. [Br. Lit.: Benét, 1109] See : Time market for in-car electronic systems has been expanding globally, in particular for car navigation See GPS. systems. To further expand the market, there is a need for further improvements in display quality and improved cost performance. At the same time, with the aim of facilitating safer driving, dashboard panels are becoming increasingly digitized and equipped with higher-performance functions in order to gather various types of information quickly, and display the information in a driver-friendly manner. The new chip features the ARM926EJ-S(TM)[1] CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. core from ARM, with Fujitsu's own automotive graphic controller also embedded on-chip which boasts a proven track record of a high number of shipments. This chip also features interfaces that support various media, such as for multimedia, in-car automotive networking, hard-drive connection, and software storage. Functions to protect programs are also included in the chip, thereby realizingon a single chip, a finely-balanced combination of functions required for next-generation in-car automotive systems. The chip is fabricated using 90-nm CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. process technology. Utilizing this new chip from Fujitsu will make it possible to realize low-cost, compact in-car automotive systems with graphics, while maintaining high-performance system functionalities.
