DENSO uses Cypress's automotive MCU and flash memory

     Cypress Semiconductor Corporation announced that DENSO, a global automotive parts and systems supplier, has adopted the Cypress Traveo automotive MCU family and FL-S Serial NOR flash memory to provide advanced graphics display capabilities for the 2017 Toyota Camry vehicle dashboard. DENSO's dashboard features the industry's first Traveo dashboard MCU with 3D display capability, based on an ARM® Cortex®-R5 processor that offers significant storage savings, enhanced security, and rich graphics capabilities.

     The FL-S memory used in the dashboard is based on Cypress's proprietary MirrorBit NOR flash process, which can store 2 bytes per storage unit, making it the highest density serial NOR flash memory in the industry. The 2017 Toyota Camry features DENSO dashboards with 4.2-inch and 7-inch displays, with a central display that combines audio, video and navigation.

     Takeshi Fuse, Senior Vice President of Cypress Automotive, said: "DENSO is the first customer to put the Cypress Traveo automotive MCU family into mass production. We are delighted to continue our long-term relationship with Denso with this flagship design." With this high-performance, cost-effective platform, customers can offer advanced imaging capabilities for affordable models. We will continue to work closely with key partners such as Denso to build the next generation of Traveo platform."
