TTP controller chosen for Boeing 787

7 February 2007 DSP, Micros & Memory

austriamicrosystems' TTP controller has been selected by Hamilton Sundstrand for use in the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The AS8202NF controller IC forms the core of the TTP-based data communication platform in Hamilton Sundstrand's electric and environmental control systems for the Dreamliner series. This high-speed data bus controller, with a communication speed of up to 25 Mbps, implements the highly innovative time-triggered protocol (TTP). As a platform technology for fault-tolerant distributed embedded computing, TTP offers substantially enhanced levels of reliability, availability and safety for aerospace applications. TTP-based systems require less wiring, and consequently weigh less, whilst also providing greater modularity and flexibility than conventional communication systems. The AS8202NF is the third generation of TTP controllers implementing the C2NF chip IP model licensed from TTTech Group. This controller has been selected for a range of aerospace applications, including distributed control systems in several electric aircraft, and modular engine control systems (FADEC) in other aircraft.
