Freescale Delivers Automotive Instrumentation Cluster MCU with On ...
October 9, 2006 -- Freescale Semiconductor has introduced a 16-bit microcontroller (MCU) designed for the next wave in automotive instrumentation clusters. The MC9S12XHZ512 MCU is claimed to be the industry's first instrumentation cluster MCU featuring an integrated thin-film transistor (TFT) display drive.
With its on-chip TFT driver, the device enables instrumentation cluster designers to reduce the complexity of their designs and implement high-quality graphic displays on low-end automotive dashboards. TFT displays -- standard fare in laptops, cell phones and other mobile appliances -- are gaining momentum in the mainstream automotive market as the technology becomes more cost-effective. The company's latest MCU addresses the instrumentation cluster market, and TFT applications in particular, by offering optimal integration and application-specific features.
