Exhibition Highlights
driver assistance systems, infotainment, hap-
tic feedback and adaptive LED headlights.
Come and take a ride. TI will also be offering
an engineer-to-engineer experience where
attendees can visit any of four different tech-
nology workbenches to meet TI experts.
Each workbench is dedicated to a different
topic: power management, sensing, wireless
connectivity, MCUs and processors.
PLS: UDE 4.6 supports ST’s SPC570S
family of automotive MCUs
By introducing version 4.6 of its Univer-
sal Debug Engine (UDE) at electronica, PLS
Programmierbare Logik & Systeme provides
a testing and debugging environment opti-
mally matched to the comprehensive internal
error-checking functions of STMicroelectron-
ics’ current SPC570S family of automotive
MCUs based on the 32-bit Power Architecture.
The latest controllers in the automotive MCU
portfolio of the Franco-Italian chip manufac-
turer were primarily designed for use in anti-
lock braking systems and airbag controllers.
Applications like these are characterized by
elevated functional safety requirements up to
ASIL D (Automotive Safety Integrity Level)
according to the ISO 26262 standard. To
meet these challenges an additional checker
core – serving as a safety core –supplements
the e200z0h computational core. The devices
of the SPC570S MCU family operate at clock
frequencies of up to 80MHz and are available
in different feature sets.
ON Semi: solutions ranging from
autonomous vehicles to IIoT
ON Semiconductor driving energy efficient
innovations, will focus on four key market
segments at this year’s Electronica in Munich.
Visitors to the over 400 square metre booth
will see the company’s latest products and
innovations for automotive, the Internet of
Things, motor control and wearable devices.
Sixteen live demonstrations will show how
the various products and technologies can
be utilised and combined to enable energy
efficient innovations in integrated systems.
In the automotive sector, ON Semicon-
ductor’s broad portfolio of products and
technologies continue to address the latest
applications throughout the vehicle, as active
(ADAS) safety, LED lighting, motor control,
vehicle connectivity and vehicle electrifica-
tion evolve at a rapid pace. In addition, the
company’s products help enable progress
towards semi and fully autonomous vehi-
cles. The Internet of Things and the Indus-
trial Internet of Things represent a high
profile and burgeoning market sector. ON
Semiconductor is able to address the key
IoT areas of sensing, wireless communica-
tions, embedded control, motor drive and
power management with a growing portfolio
of products including image sensors, smart
passive sensors and 2.4GHz and sub-1GHz
transceivers supporting the leading wire-
less communications protocols for the IoT.
Finally, ON Semiconductor will showcase its
products that include advanced integrated
power modules and controllers, as well as a
broad portfolio of discrete power devices to
provide complete motor control in the con-
sumer appliance, industrial, and automotive
markets. This includes solutions for exciting
new applications like drones, robotics and
industrial automation.
Tektronix: latest test solutions at
upcoming electronica
Next generation TBS2000 oscilloscope with
best-in-class signal visualization feature the
longest record length and largest display in
its class for faster signal evaluation and trou-
bleshooting. It puts expanded capabilities into
the hands of budget-constrained design engi-
neers and educators who can now use a wide
