Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY) today announced an expansion of its automotive portfolio that will help enable manufacturers to bring high tech automotive systems historically available only in luxury models to mainstream vehicles. Leveraging a wide range of differentiated products that includes microcontrollers (MCUs), power management ICs (PMICs), memories and touch-sensing solutions, the portfolio enables value-added systems for Cypress’s top tier automotive customers.
As a key part of the expansion, Cypress introduced the first series of its Traveo microcontroller (MCU) family on the 40nm process technology node, which enables higher performance and more cost-efficient implementations of instrument clusters. The series features up to 4MB of high-density embedded flash, meter control, small thin-film transistor (TFT) display control, advanced sound output capabilities and support for many kinds of networking standards for a wide variety of instrument clusters. In addition, a new MCU in the series is optimized for high-end body and gateway control. The 40nm technology will also provide the ability to embed more on-chip flash memory for advanced applications. The 40nm Traveo MCUs will make it easier to implement Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) updates, which enable consumers to get new software fixes and features and new applications for their vehicles on-the-go.
