Traveo™ MCU Family and FL-S Serial NOR Flash Memories Bring State-of-the-art Graphics with Automotive-grade Reliability to Toyota’s Center Cluster Display
SAN JOSE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 26, 2017 — Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY) today announced that global automotive supplier DENSO Corporation has selected Cypress’ Traveo™ automotive microcontroller (MCU) family and FL-S Serial NOR Flash memory family to drive the advanced graphics in its instrument cluster for the 2017 Toyota Camry. The DENSO instrument cluster uses Traveo devices that were the industry’s first 3D-capable ARM® Cortex®-R5 cluster MCUs, and they provide greater memory savings, increased safety features and rich image capabilities. The FL-S memory in the cluster is based on Cypress’ proprietary MirrorBit® NOR Flash process technology, which enables the highest density serial NOR Flash memory in the industry by storing two bits per cell. The DENSO instrument cluster has 4.2- and 7.0-inch screens capable of audio, video and navigation in the center display of the 2017 Toyota Camry.
