Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE:FSL) (NYSE:FSL.B), the leading supplier of
semiconductors to the automotive industry, has shipped more than $1
billion in flash-based, 32-bit automotive microcontrollers (MCUs) built
on Power Architecture™ technology. The company
achieved this significant milestone in just seven years after launching
its first Power Architecture MCU designed for the demanding quality,
power and performance requirements of automotive applications.
“Surpassing this $1 billion mark is a
testament to Freescale’s strong global
customer relationships and the broad market adoption of our 32-bit
automotive MCU portfolio,” said Ray Cornyn,
Freescale’s automotive MCU operations manager. “As
the leading supplier of automotive MCUs, we continue to evolve our
portfolio to meet customer needs for zero-defect quality,
industry-leading flash-based performance and support for critical
standards, such as FlexRay™ technology and
automotive open system architecture (AUTOSAR).”
Freescale innovation fueled the development of the world’s
first Power Architecture automotive MCUs –
the MPC500 family, introduced in 1999. Over the years, the MPC500 family
grew to include 11 devices offering up to 1MB of embedded flash memory
and an array of peripherals required by automotive designers. The market
success of the MPC500 family helped make Power Architecture technology
the de facto solution for powertrain applications.
In 2004, Freescale launched the MPC5554, the first member of the
next-generation MPC5500 MCU family. MPC5500 MCUs are Freescale’s
first fully synthesizable system-on-chip (SoC) devices optimized for
automotive designs. Built on Freescale’s
proven 130-nanometer technology, the MPC5500 family currently features
seven devices, including the recently announced MPC5566 for powertrain
control (offering the industry’s largest
flash array – up to 3MB), the MPC5561 for
advanced safety systems and the MPC5510 line for cost-sensitive body
applications.
Compatibility throughout the entire MPC5500 family gives engineers the
ability to migrate their efforts from one design to another, reducing
development costs and improving time to market. The MPC5500 portfolio is
expected to grow with devices that offer expanded sets of nonvolatile
memory, connectivity and performance options. In addition, code
compatibility between the MPC500 and MPC5500 family members helps
eliminate migration worries and enables software reuse.
General Motors announced its global adoption of the MPC5500 family in GM
powertrain engine control systems. GM also awarded Freescale its coveted
Supplier of the Year award for 2004 and 2005. In February 2006, ST
Microelectronics and Freescale announced a collaboration agreement to
complement Freescale’s Power MCUs with an
effort to drive joint design of additional 32-bit automotive MCUs based
on Power Architecture technology, including future 90-nm products with
dual-source options.
