MCUs
Renesas Technology Europe has announced the SH74552 and SH74562 32-bit MCUs for applications of advanced driver-assistance systems, needed in automobile 'active safety' systems.
These include systems for obstacle detection and risk avoidance.
The specifications of the SH74552 and SH74562 have been selected for systems intended for mid- and low-range vehicles.
The MCUs integrate the capability for high-speed and fine-grained processing of large amounts of data from sensors in a compact package.
Renesas Technology's SH7450 series MCUs for applications of advanced driver assistance combine on-chip flash memory and high-speed operation.
The SH74552 and SH74562 employ a FBGA package measuring 13 x 13 mm, deliver the high-speed operation and large-capacity memory necessary for high-speed and fine-grained processing of large volumes of data from sensors in applications such as obstacle detection and risk avoidance, and integrate on-chip peripheral functions such as CAN*1.
They are based on Renesas Technology's existing 240 MHz products (17 x 17 mm) and provide a carefully selected subset of their specifications.
This makes it possible to build advanced driver-assistance systems that require less space, are lower in cost, and are more lightweight, making them suitable for popularly priced vehicles.
