NEWS: Fujitsu Introduces Next-Generation FlexRay™ Controller, Enabling X-by-Wire Technology for In-Vehicle Networks http://www.fujitsu.com/emea/news/pr/fme_20050922.html
September 2005. Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe (FME) has announced the world’s first FlexRay controller featuring version 2.0 FlexRay IP developed by Robert Bosch GmbH. Fujitsu’s MB88121, available in sample quantities at the end of September 2005, delivers 10 Megabits per second over two channels. It provides fault-tolerant, deterministic data transmission, which is suitable for the engine control, braking and steering subsystems. It allows designers to apply the advanced features offered by a FlexRay network, while protecting the investment made developing legacy assets and sustaining the reliability of existing products. Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe (FME) will show its new FlexRay™ controller (MB88121) at the International VDI Conference “Systems for Vehicles” in Baden-Baden (Germany), 6th – 7th October. The MB88121 is designed to complement all of the existing standard automotive buses, including the Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interconnect Network (LIN). FlexRay-based technology, which can provide approximately 10 times the throughput of CAN, is expected to gradually replace CAN as automakers and their suppliers adopt x-by-wire solutions in new generations of vehicles.
