New Automotive Microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics Enhance Safety of Smarter Vehicles
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Geneva, February 23, 2016 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, has introduced first microprocessors in the SPC57 family that
break new ground in automotive applications by offering the industry's best
combination of safety assurance and cost/performance. Building on the successful
32-bit Power Architecture((TM)) SPC5 microprocessor platform, the new product
family targets cost-sensitive automotive systems that must meet the most
stringent safety requirements, up to the highest ISO26262 ASIL-D Automotive
Safety Integrity Level.
The new microcontrollers are system-on-chip (SoC) devices designed to meet the
challenges of entry-level vehicle safety-critical applications, including
airbags, ABS (Anti-lock Braking Systems) in cars and motorcycles, power
steering, and DC/DC converters/inverters for Hybrid/Electric Vehicles.
As the world increasingly embraces smarter cars, makers are meeting the
challenge to ensure that all the key functions are protected against random
failures, such as those caused by a single cosmic ray changing a bit in a memory
cell. ST's SPC57 devices are specifically designed to address this challenge,
providing highly competitive solutions for controlling vehicle functions such as
steering and braking while offering safety compliance to the highest level
combined with low-cost development paths.
"Safety is a key driver of developments in the automotive industry and therefore
also of the underlying semiconductor technology that is making cars safer and
greener," said Luca Rodeschini, Director Strategic Business Development and
Microcontroller Business Unit, Automotive and Discrete Product Group,
STMicroelectronics. "The SPC57 is a scalable, future-proof solution that
combines optimal cost/performance with full compliance to the most demanding
safety-assurance criteria, a long-term product-longevity commitment to
customers, and a comprehensive low-cost development ecosystem."
The SPC57 family is built using the world's most advanced 55nm automotive
technology with clock speeds up to 80MHz. As important, it is supported by a
full-featured, low-cost tool chain that is compatible with the existing
development infrastructure of current Power Architecture devices, enabling rapid
development of new cost-effective, safety-critical automotive systems. The
design ecosystem includes the free SPC5Studio development environment, open-
source code compilers, and a range of evaluation boards that start from as low
as $100.
The first four members of the SPC57 family are the SPC570S50E1 (512K Flash
memory in a QFP64 package), SPC570S50E3 (512K in QFP100), SPC570S40E1 (256K in
QFP64), and SPC570S40E3 (256K in QFP100), with the exposed-pad QFP packages
supporting increased user pin-out functionality and thermally demanding
applications. The QFP64 devices are available now, with the QFP100 devices
scheduled for the end of Q1 2016.
