Cypress expands its automotive MCU portfolio

Cypress has announced that it is sampling new devices in its Traveo automotive MCU family.

The new MCUs support the CAN FD standard for in-vehicle networking which allows large amounts of data to be exchanged between CAN node. The MCUs also offer enhanced Secure Hardware Extension (eSHE), which allows stops unauthorised connections to ECUs.

The new Traveo S6J336xx and S6J337xx series leverage Cypress’ 40nm embedded charge-trap (eCT) Flash technology. The MCU series are based on an ARM Cortex-R5 core at 132-MHz and feature up to 2MB of high-density embedded flash for application storage.

The MCUs offer an LCD interface that supports 4com x 32 segment, which can be used for a basic LCD display such as the odometer. The interface also supports Thin-Film-Transistor (TFT) display sizes up to 480×240 pixels with a sequencer that simplifies control of the meter display, which can be used to show simple diagnostics such as tire pressure or that a door is open.

A partial wake-up mode allows the MCUs to operate some functions while the core is in sleep mode.

The new Traveo MCUs include the S6J351Cx series, which are targeted for body electronics applications.

The Traveo S6J336xx, S6J337xx and S6J351Cx series are sampling now and will be in production in the first quarter of 2018.
