Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY) today announced a new addition to its Traveo™ automotive microcontroller (MCU) family with more memory for program code and graphics to support hybrid instrument cluster applications. The new, highly integrated devices in the S6J32xE series provide a single-chip solution that can drive graphics on head-up displays or traditional gauges, but also provides scalability with Cypress’s low-pin-count HyperBus™ memory interface. The addition continues Cypress’s expansion of its broad automotive portfolio that delivers differentiating performance via its MCUs, memories, wireless radios, capacitive-touch solutions, Power Management ICs (PMICs) and other technologies.
The Traveo S6J32xE series features up to 4MB of high-density embedded flash, 512 KB RAM and 2 MB of Video RAM, along with an ARM® Cortex®-R5 core at 240 MHz performance. The MCUs have up to two 12-pin HyperBus memory interfaces that dramatically improve read and write performance of graphical data and other data or code. The devices can use a single HyperBus interface to connect to two memories for Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) updates, which enable end-users to get new software fixes, features and applications for their vehicles on-the-go. The series includes a Low-voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) video output, providing a suitable interface to attach external displays such as Thin-Film-Transistors (TFTs). The MCUs support all in-vehicle networking standards required for instrument clusters, including Controller Area Network-Flexible Data (CAN-FD) and Ethernet AVB.
