32-bit Flash-Based MCU Integrates FlexRay Networking

Freescale’s MPC5567 32-bit Flash-based MCU integrates the FlexRay networking protocol on a PowerPC® core for powertrain and chassis applications.

The PowerPC core provides a platform for system-on-a-chip designs, whilst the FlexRay networking protocol enables new safety-critical and performance features, as well as making on-board networking of existing electronics systems more robust. This combination of features on a single chip supports demand for higher data transmission rates and fault tolerance in automotive control systems.

The MPC5567 with FlexRay enables fault-tolerant communication at bandwidth rates of 10Mbit/sec. The MCU can coordinate and control communication and activities between various systems in the vehicle. For example, the MPC5567’s integrated FlexRay functionality is designed to enable the integrated chassis control module to communicate in a quick, deterministic and dependable manner with other electronic modules in the car. The MPC5567 expands on Freescale’s MPC55XX families of MCUs. Pin-compatibility throughout the entire Flash-based family gives
