Texas Instruments releases new AEC-Q100 compliant MSPM0MCU to help optimize automotive body control module design

【Lansheng Technology News】Cars have become an essential tool for modern people to travel. With the advancement of technology, they not only provide a convenient mode of transportation, but also gradually become the "third space" of future life. Drivers and passengers have also put forward higher requirements for the comfort and functional safety of cars, which has also promoted the intelligent development of MCUs in the field of body control.

In order to meet this demand, Texas Instruments has further expanded the application layout of the MSPM0 family and launched a new automotive-grade general-purpose MCU. This series is oriented to body control applications and expands from industrial grade to automotive grade. Vinay Agarwal, vice president and general manager of Texas Instruments MSP microcontroller business, also accepted media interviews on the release of the MCU automotive-grade chip.

The MSPM0-Q1 is an Arm? Cortex?-based, automotive-qualified (AEC-Q100) MCU designed to meet the system requirements of body electronics applications. These MCUs offer smaller packages, easy-to-use standardized software, high-performance low-power peripherals and full pin-for-pin scalability at a very low cost.

Some highlights of the MSPM0-Q1 series, such as:

Scalability

MSPM0-Q1 provides a high degree of compatibility and flexibility in terms of hardware, software and analog integration.

• From a hardware perspective, MSPM0-Q1 adopts a pin-to-pin compatible design. As long as they are in the same package, the entire series of products can be interchanged to achieve hardware compatibility.
• From a software perspective, Texas Instruments provides various reference codes, graphical programming interfaces, etc. to facilitate customers' rapid development and debugging.
• In terms of analog integration, MSPM0-Q1 provides integration options for op amps, ADC/DACs, comparators, etc. to meet different analog signal chain control needs.

A combination of cost and performance

• Built-in fault diagnosis mechanism and security extensions help customers meet functional safety and fault diagnosis requirements.
• Highly integrated high-precision analog peripherals, CAN-FD and LIN communication interfaces reduce board space and optimize system costs.
• Provides CPU frequency range from 32M to 80M to meet different performance and storage needs.
• A variety of packaging options from 16-pin to 64-pin are provided to facilitate customers' product iteration and upgrade.
• Texas Instruments' internally integrated signal chain IP supports internal interconnects to save external space and external components.

The release of Texas Instruments automotive-grade MCU products further promotes the development of automotive intelligence and meets the growing demand for MCUs in the body control field. These products have the advantages of versatility, scalability and low power consumption, and can be widely used in various automotive application scenarios.

Develop quickly with convenient tools

At the same time, Texas Instruments also provides a series of development tools and graphical programming interfaces, such as the LaunchPad? development kit, as well as reference code, libraries, graphical programming interfaces and other software, which can help customers shorten development time and improve development efficiency.

In the future, Texas Instruments will continue to lead technological innovation in the MCU field and open up more possibilities for the sustainable development of the automotive industry.
