LIN and CAN cores added to IP library for automotive FPGAs

10 March 2004 Programmable Logic Products & Solutions

Actel has available new local interconnect network (LIN) and controller area network (CAN) cores to support its automotive- and industrial-temperature grade devices. Available from Intelliga Integrated Design, a new Actel CompanionCore partner, the iLIN and iCAN cores meet reliability and performance standards in Actel's ProASICPLUS, Axcelerator, SX/SX-A and RTSX-S devices.

Actel's offering of IP specifically designed and optimised for in-cab and under-the-hood automotive applications now boasts more than 30 cores including LIN, CAN, I2C, SPI, 8051, Z80, 6809, Reed Solomon and DES/3DES/AES.

Qualified to operate at ambients from -40 to 125°C and junction temperatures up to 150°C, Actel's automotive temperature FPGA devices function at some of the highest temperatures among competitive FPGA solutions.

The Intelliga iLIN core is a standalone LIN Rev 1.3 compliant design, which performs all MAC/PHY logical functions and provides a simple interface to LIN transceiver chips such as the Philips TJA1020. The core's ultra-low gate count and flexible system interface make it ideally suited to the LIN concept as a low-cost accompaniment to the CAN bus in automotive applications. The iLIN hardware interface contains all the functionality expected from a LIN master/slave controller core that minimises software overhead. Intelliga's iCAN core is a full hardware solution that conforms to Version 2.0B of the CAN specification and performs all MAC functions.
