Tokyo, Japan, February 16, 2016 - Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), the world's leading supplier of semiconductor solutions, today announced the R-Car D1 series as the first system-on-chip (RC) for the R-car series ) components, dedicated to 3D instrumentation systems. As a leader in the automotive semiconductor market, Renesas is using its deep technology accumulation and expertise to launch a new range of products that provide automotive systems manufacturers with a smooth transition path as more and more automotive systems are expected soon. The future will use a 3D graphical instrumentation system.
With the increasing use of color LCD screens in instrumentation systems, small and medium-sized cars are also more likely to combine mechanical hands and graphic displays. In high-end cars, the "no mechanical pointer" display that seeks easy identification and comfort has made great progress. A 3D image that can be beautifully and easily recognized on a large-size, high-resolution screen has been considered an aspect of the car's personality. It is foreseeable that in the future, even in low-end models, the trend of large-size and high-resolution display screens will continue to develop, and the instrument systems currently used for 3D graphics used in high-end cars will be widely used.
However, in order to better popularize the system, it is necessary to have the ability to drive 3D graphics, display rich and realistic images, display the screen of the instrument as quickly as the auxiliary program, and achieve high reliability without unauthorized access to the system. In order to continuously transmit accurate information to the driver; in addition, the performance of many electronic equipment units and communication systems in the vehicle needs to be enhanced.
Renesas R-Car D1 Series Automotive SoC for 3D graphics
The R-Car D1's features and capabilities overcome these issues, and because Renesas users can leverage the R-Car ecosystem of more than 170 companies, they will be able to quickly develop 3D graphics cluster systems. Renesas will promote the use of 3D graphics on a large scale.
The Renesas R-Car Series SoCs provide a high-performance Human Machine Interface (HMI) for high-end automotive cockpit systems. Renesas also provides instrument control support via the RH850/D1X microcontroller (MCU), which is ideal for low- and mid-range automotive systems.
Main features of the R-Car D1 series
(1) Easily develop 3D graphics instrumentation systems by working with Renesas partners
While good visibility and high-quality design are extremely important to improve the recognizability and comfort of a full-graphics instrumentation system, at the same time, if users have insufficient experience in 3D graphics development, the time required for development will be It is a big obstacle. Based on Renesas' extensive experience in HMI solution development and a partner company with expertise in graphics system development, Renesas offers solutions that easily display images created by graphic designers as instrumentation systems, making it easy for system vendors Develop your own 3D instrumentation system.
(2) Ability to quickly start the instrumentation system
The instrument system needs to be activated quickly, for example, after the driver opens the side door of the cab, or when the auxiliary program is started, the system can immediately display the picture or output the audio at high speed. Renesas, along with a partner in the R-Car ecosystem, offers solutions that support high-speed system startup, fast display of instrument screens and audio output.
(3) Guarantee driver safety and prevent car hackers by providing functional safety and safety solutions
If the instrument system fails, it can cause serious accidents, so in order to provide the driver with the correct information, these systems need to continuously monitor whether the information being output is correct. If the system fails, it needs to be detected immediately. To achieve a highly reliable system, the R-Car D1 supports the ISO26262 standard for automotive functional safety. Renesas offers a functional safety support program to implement a functionally secure system.
In addition, because it is necessary to prevent hackers from outside the system to ensure the system is safe and reliable, the RH850 32-bit MCU with hardware security function can be combined with the R-Car D1 series to construct a system that ensures data robustness and hacking prevention. become possible.
(4) Maximum system flexibility and ease of design through R-Car D1, which supports a wide range of communications and network types
The R-Car D1 contains the various communication interfaces required for the instrumentation system. Since the R-Car D1 supports this range of interfaces, including Ethernet AVB for connecting navigation systems, USB for smartphones, and CAN-FD for in-vehicle infotainment, it delivers maximum system flexibility and ease of use. design.
(5) Development assets of 2D graphics cluster RH850/D1x
The RH850/D1M series MCUs are capable of instrument control and 2D graphics display on a single chip, and are widely used in a variety of vehicles. Since the 2D graphics system in the R-Car D1 SoC is identical to the RH850/D1M, system manufacturers can use these 2D graphics to develop assets and develop 3D graphics systems for R-Car D1. In addition, for instrument control, system manufacturers can also use R-Car D1 in combination with RH850/D1M to perform this system.
Listing period
Samples of the R-Car D1 series are available now, with volume production scheduled for March 2017. Production is expected to reach 100,000 units per month by March 2018. (The listing period is subject to change without notice.)
