Automotive safety systems
Overview
Automotive airbag systems continue to enhance passenger safety through the incorporation of increasingly sophisticated features. Automotive suppliers face continuing pressure from the market to improve performance while reducing costs. Both of these trends are expected to continue as the focus on safety remains in the forefront. Freescale is a leading semiconductor supplier for next-generation airbag applications, with custom and standard microcontrollers (MCU), analog and sensor products. We offer solutions for point-to-point and bus-based satellite interface architectures with the established distributed system interface (DSI) as well as the emerging peripheral sensor interface (PSI5) architectures. Our airbag system portfolio offers an array of technology solutions that help you with even your most challenging airbag system designs, while providing quality solutions from entry-level to high-end applications. Within Freescales broad portfolio, the Xtrinsic accelerometers in the low-, mid- and high-g range cover local and satellite sensor needs (XY-, X- and Z-axis). For system control, a range of 16- and 32-bit MCU solutions addresses low- to high-end system requirements, as well as 8- and 16-bit MCU solutions for the safing functions. Freescale also provides SMARTMOS-based analog and mixed signal standard product solutions for integrating power supply, satellite interfaces, buckle switch sensors, squib drivers and controller area network (CAN) and local interconnect network (LIN) physical layers.
