Freescale pushes Kinetis EA series MCU sword to refer to automotive electronics market

With the gradual improvement of material life, the global demand for automobiles is increasing, especially in China, which is an incredible growth rate. With the advancement of technology, the electronic configuration of automobiles has also increased substantially. The technologies like car networking and autonomous driving have gradually become the mainstream configuration of automobiles. It is believed that the demand for MCUs will also rise in the future.

As one of the leaders in automotive chips, Freescale Semiconductor and ARM have launched the KineTIs EA series of MCUs to meet this big-footed automotive MCU market.

According to Li Xing, product manager of Freescale Automotive Electronics Microcontroller Asia Pacific, the KineTIs EA series is a 32-bit MCU based on the ARM Cortex-M0+ core with 8k-128k flash memory, -40/+125decC.

The family also includes a powerful set of analog, communication, timing, and control peripherals that offer a variety of flash specifications and pin counts. These highly reliable, cost-effective and energy-efficient MCUs with enhanced EMC/ESD performance provide solutions for multiple automotive applications. In addition, the series offers several development tools, hardware and software reference options to help customers design quickly and easily. In terms of operating voltage range and temperature range, they are also 2.7-5.5V and -49°C to 125°C, respectively, which meet the needs of automotive electronics.

After learning the preliminary information of the MCU, we can also get a deeper understanding of this new ARM ARM. According to Mr. Yan Lifeng, the embedded application market manager of ARM China, ARM Cortex-M0+ is a new architecture introduced by ARM in 2012. Like the Cortex-M0 processor, it has a small chip area and low power consumption. The amount of code required is minimal, which allows developers to skip 16-bit systems directly and get the performance of 32-bit systems at a cost close to 8-bit systems. Thanks to its innovative design, this core features low power consumption and scalability, allowing it to be flexibly designed with the rich options available.

“At the same time it retains the tool and binary upward compatibility with the more powerful Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors.” Yan Lifeng stressed.

This high-efficiency and low-power product can be used in automotive electronics such as infotainment system connection modules, parking assist systems, motorcycle CDI, battery management, intelligent keyless entry and start systems, automotive lighting, general sensor nodes, etc. Aspects. Li Xing continued to introduce.

As mentioned above, Freescale's KineTIs EA series can help customers to shoot quickly. According to Li Xing, a customer can choose from hardware to shoot prototypes with demo code. The whole process can be completed within 24 hours. The time required to reach the production level takes only two months. Such a product that can perform rapid design can attract customers' attention in a wide range of markets around the world. Especially in the market where the number of cars in China is increasing rapidly, this design speed product is more popular with customers, and because it is adopted. The architecture of ARM, which is familiar to Chinese designers, is believed to be even more powerful in the speed of Freescale's MCUs in China. It is no wonder that Manager Li Xing will say that the Chinese market will be the focus of Freescale.

As a new force in Freescale's automotive electronics MCU, it is believed that the KEA series will introduce more and more efficient MCUs in the future. The entire series is pin-compatible and user-friendly upgrades are essential. In addition, Freescale's follow-up support is an important issue for Freescale Qorivva and S12 MagniV mixed-signal MCU users. Manager Li Xing said that “the KEA series is just a new supplement. In the above old series, Freescale will continue to invest and support.”

The rising demand for automotive electronics brought about by the substantial growth of automobiles will come. I believe that with the extensive ecosystem and development support of Freescale, the development of automotive electronics will not be difficult, and it is hoped that with the support of these international semiconductor manufacturers. China's automotive electronics design can leap to a new level.
