E981.57 with two independent physical bus drivers
With the component E981.57, ELMOS introduces the first dual FlexRay(TM)
star coupler available in series production worldwide, thus completing the
FlexRay(TM) family. The IC has passed certification according to the latest
FlexRay(TM) Electrical Physical Layer (EPL) specification V3.0. The E981.57
meets the car manufacturers' requirements with respect to electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) and electrostatic discharge (ESD).
With the active star coupler up to two branches of a FlexRay(TM) network
can be connected to each other. For this purpose, the ELMOS component
provides two independent physical bus drivers for transmitting and
receiving FlexRay(TM) data frames. Configuration and microcontroller-based
mode control as well as the exchange of diagnostic information make use of
the SPI compatible host controller interface. The also implemented
interface connected to a communication controller makes it possible to use
the component E981.57 as a standard transceiver. Apart from that,
autonomous operation with the star coupler functioning as a repeater is
possible entirely without connection to a controller.
With its two channels, the E981.57 represents the entry-level model. ELMOS
also offers a four-port star coupler (E981.56). The four-port star coupler
is available in the same package. Thus ELMOS customers have the opportunity
to set up layout systems with 2/4/6/8 combinations on the same circuit
boards and assemble them as required. If only one channel is needed, the
E981.55 FlexRay(TM) transceiver can be used. A large number of options for
scaling the FlexRay(TM) network are therefore made available. All
FlexRay(TM) transceivers referred to here feature 'wake-up' functionality.
The component E981.56/57 comes in a QFN package of 9mm edge length with 44
pins. It is designed for a temperature range between -40°C and +125°C and a
supply voltage range of 5.5 V to 18 V. Qualification according to AEC-Q100
has been completed successfully.
