Automotive Microcontrollers
Atmel® offers microcontrollers qualified to automotive requirements. It includes MARC4 4-bit devices, that have been used since many years, and AVRŽ 8-bit RISC Flash microcontrollers.
AVR 8-bit architecture has reached a high level of acceptance in many market segments for its performance, high code density and efficient development tool set. It is perfectly suited for many automotive applications. The range of devices made available to automotive already covers a variety of needs and is expanding rapidly.
Typical applications cover sensors and actuators control and in-vehicle networking with CAN (Controller Area Network) and LIN (Local Interconnect Network).
In addition to usual manufacturing and development plant qualifications (ISO-TS-16949 and QS-9000) automotive products are being qualified according to the AEC Q100 (Automotive Electronic Council) requirements, and a PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) document is made available for each product.
