Motorola Automotive controllers - Michael Farrugia - Oct 12 15:49:00 2004

Motorola term some of their microcontrollers as automotive. What criteria
do they use to distinguish between those which are automotive and those
which are not? I tried to find a trend but could not! Does anyone know?

Thanks
Michael

Re: Motorola Automotive controllers - Doron Fael - Oct 12 17:06:00 2004

Michael,

According to my knowledge the criteria is based on sales.

The microcontollers that are developed for the Automotive industry, and are
sold for the Automotive industry are classified as automotive.

All the other HCS12 microcontrollers, and including some that are
automotive and are popular for general market, are classified general market.

Hope this helps,
Doron

RE: Motorola Automotive controllers - Kerry Berland - Oct 12 17:31:00 2004

This is no hard and fast distinction. However automotive is quite possibly
Motorola's most successful market concentration-they probably have better
market leadership and penetration in that area (in my opinion) than in any
other, including wireless. Some of the classic microcontrollers widely used
in many general-purpose markets were first designed for automotive,
including the 68HC11 and 68HC12 families. They start out more or less as
custom products, sold in the millions to GM, Ford, or Chrysler (or other
automotive OEMs), then get productized for general use a year or two later.
Power PC-based controllers are being used in engine controls, transmission
controls, and antilock braking systems. 68HC12 class controllers are used
for body control functions including driver door switches, memory seats, and
the like. 68HC908 class controllers are used in lower-end body control
functions requiring less processing power.
In recent years, many automotive microcontrollers have built-in serial
communications controllers intended for use in vehicle data networks. A few
years ago this meant J1850 for the US, CAN in Europe. It's no accident that
the first 68HC12 chips had these functions built in. Now J1850 is being
displaced by CAN world-wide. (LIN is coming in for low-end modules, often on
68HC908 parts.) So one typical characteristic of "automotive" controllers is
the presence of CAN on-chip. CAN is also used in industrial control systems
(for example, DeviceNet), but I think automotive was Motorola's first and
primary market for CAN.
There are certain technical characteristics imposed by automotive that are
not as widely present in other industries. One is temperature, -40 to +85 in
all cases, to +105 if the module is in the passenger cabin but sunlight
visible, to +125 if under the hood. Another is unusual attention to EMC
issues, more so than in most other industries.
Even if a processor series was originally launched in the automotive sector,
they later broaden it out by adding new peripheral I/O needed in other
industries, different packages, etc. Many processors end up being used both
in automotive and in other sectors. Others are specifically for industrial
controls, appliances, computer peripherals, etc.

Kerry Berland

Probably the temperature spec., or perhaps common usage.

Automotive type MCU Qualification :
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/aqtlink.jsp

CAN and LIN bus features are specific standards, mainly for Automotive
application.

LIN protocol - for peripheral communication within automotive :
http://www.mot-sps.com/files/microcontrollers/doc/reports_presentations/LINO
VERVIEWPRESENT.ppt

I think Kerry got some other requirements for Automotive.

Re: Motorola Automotive controllers - Author Unknown - Oct 13 13:46:00 2004

Within the Freescale 8,16 and 32 bit microcontroller business groups there are automotive focussed and non automotive (consumer/industrial) focussed teams, both of which are responsible for new product development, hence you end up with auto parts and non auto parts. However there is a large crossover of usage from Auto to non auto and some from non auto to Auto. You will find that most of the non auto parts are qual'ed up to 105decC and many up to 125 degC.

When looking for info on new parts it is best to look in the automotive part of www.freescale.com as you will find info earlier in here then on the general section, but it won't make it any easier to get hold of pre qualified devices.

Look here to get more info on the subject http://www.freegeeks.net/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=viewlink&cid=1

Best regards
freegeek www.freegeeks.net

PS I am planning to publicise my web site on the 9th November (to coincide with Electronica), anyone interested in adding in links to their web site should plan to do it before then (add here http://www.freegeeks.net/modules.php?name=Web_Links), any registered user can add their own links.

Also, anyone wanting to contribute articles, code snippets, application examples etc is welcome to do so.

You will also see that I have a forum for users, anyone interested to become a moderator, just drop me a line.

MC9S12XDP512-CFV samples - Michael Farrugia - Jan 21 10:58:00 2005

I would like to get some samples of the MC9S12XDP512-CFV. Does anyone know
from where I can get maybe 3 or 4.
Thanks
Michael
