Fujitsu and Inova Semiconductor partners to develop graphic display in automotives

Fujitsu and Inova Semiconductors have collaborated to develop an advanced, cost-efficient display technology solution for in-vehicle applications.

Entitled "Fujitsu and Inova Help Automakers and Tier-One Suppliers Design and Manufacture High-Performance Graphics Display Systems," the case study explains the benefits of graphics display controllers for embedded vehicle applications, and describes how Fujitsu Microelectronics integrated Inova Semiconductor's APIX high-speed serial interface into its graphics display controllers (GDCs).

Fujitsu says that currently it has three automotive GDCs with integrated APIX are the MB86R02 "Jade-D" SoC, the MB88F332 "Indigo" and the 32-bit Fujitsu RISC microcontroller MB91F467. These devices simplify wiring, and reduce cost and space requirements by limiting the number of connectors and wiring harnesses needed to transmit video and peripheral data to remote displays throughout the vehicle.
