Taking advantage of the allure of PFESiP: new ASIC solution combines a microcontroller and gate array in SiP
Taking advantage of the allure of PFESiP: new ASIC solution combines a microcontroller and gate array in SiP

A new ASIC solution that encapsulates a dedicated 32-bit V850E2™ CPU core-based microcontroller and a gate array in a single package has made its debut. This new ASIC not only aids in shortening development time and cost, it also reduces both the number of components and the size of the mounting area. We interviewed members of the Platform for embedded system-in-a-package (PFESiP) development team to get the story behind its development.

The V850ES/Jx3-L™ 32-bit All Flash™ microcontroller: The untold story behind the quest to achieve class-leading power performance
The V850ES/Jx3-L™ 32-bit All Flash™ microcontroller: The untold story behind the quest to achieve class-leading power performance

Amidst the increasing importance of extended battery operation and low power consumption in devices for all sorts of products, NEC Electronics has developed a 32-bit microcontroller capable of achieving class-leading power consumption that is more than 50% lower than existing products. Behind this achievement was a development team that faced its challenges head-on.

NaviEngine® Multicore Platform and its role in the evolution of car navigation systems: The world's first (*1) system LSI chip for car navigation systems to be equipped with SMP technology
NaviEngine® Multicore Platform and its role in the evolution of car navigation systems: The world's first (*1) system LSI chip for car navigation systems to be equipped with SMP technology

The next generation of car navigation systems is within sight!
NEC Electronics' NaviEngine® multicore platform is the world's first (*1) system LSI to be developed with a symmetric multicore processor・・MP・映or use in car navigation systems. To learn more about the development of NaviEngine, a system LSI chip capable of conducting complex processing at high speeds and displaying multiple screens, we interviewed one of the engineers involved in its design.
