OEMs are experiencing increasing application complexity and the need for AUTOSAR, ISO 26262 functional safety-compliant and secure solutions as the market for electric and autonomous vehicles grows. For automotive developers looking to design scalable applications for future technology while also meeting the latest automotive requirements, Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces a comprehensive ecosystem around AUTOSAR-ready dsPIC33C Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) to enable accelerated development and a high level of system optimization while reducing total system cost.

Microchip is expanding its broad portfolio of dsPIC33C DSCs to cover the large memory segment with the new ISO 26262-compliant dsPIC33CK1024MP7xx family. This new family of dsPIC33C DSCs with 1 MB Flash enables applications running automotive software like AUTOSAR, OS, MCAL drivers, ISO 26262 functional safety diagnostics and security libraries. The family of dsPIC33 DSCs also includes a high-performance Central Processing Unit (CPU) with deterministic response and specialized peripherals for general automotive, advanced sensing and control, digital power and motor control applications.

“The AUTOSAR-ready dsPIC33C DSCs enable designers to achieve a high level of system optimization by implementing AUTOSAR-based applications, functional safety goals and security use cases in a single microcontroller (MCU) while meeting robust automotive application requirements,” said Joe Thomsen, vice president of the MCU16 business unit at Microchip Technology. “This opens up a world of opportunities for designers looking to work with Microchip while expanding into e-mobility and advanced sensing and control applications.”

The benefit of adopting AUTOSAR-ready devices like this one is that customers can improve their risk and complexity management while decreasing development time through reusability. Customers who have previously designed bare metal or non-AUTOSAR automotive applications and are now adopting AUTOSAR can scale up by staying within the dsPIC33C DSC ecosystem and continuing to take advantage of Microchip’s value-added solutions, customer support and product advantages with the new AUTOSAR-ready dsPIC33C DSCs. The AUTOSAR ecosystem for the dsPIC33C DSCs includes MICROSAR Classic from Vector, KSAR OS from KPIT Technologies Ltd. and ASPICE- and ASIL B-compliant MCAL drivers from Microchip.

“We have worked with our partners to offer an integrated solution to simplify development for automotive OEMs and Tier 1s” said Matthias Kaestner, vice president of Microchip’s automotive products business unit. “The integrated solution gives insights into the AUTOSAR-based development. It simplifies evaluation of an ECU project using AUTOSAR 4.3.x and enables customers to get familiar with the systems based on dsPIC33 AUTOSAR-ready DSCs quickly.”

Microchip has expanded its functional safety packages that include FMEDA reports, safety manuals and diagnostic libraries to cover the ISO 26262-compliant dsPIC33CK1024MP7xx DSCs. These AUTOSAR-ready dsPIC33C DSCs, used together with Microchip’s TA100 CryptoAutomotive™ security integrated circuits (ICs), enable the implementation of robust security in automotive designs.

Development Tools

Software and tools from Microchip Technology include certified MPLAB^® XC16 compiler functional safety licenses, MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE), MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC), programming and debugging tools for dsPIC33C DSCs, ISO 26262- and ASPICE-compliant MCAL drivers for dsPIC33C DSCs, ISO 26262 functional safety packages for dsPIC33C DSCs and software libraries and reference code for security use cases. Third-party software includes MICROSAR Classic from Vector and KSAR OS from KPIT Technologies Ltd. Third-party hardware tools include TRACE32^® debugger from Lauterbach.

Allows real-time engineering collaboration using latest 2D & 3D CAD formats.

Farmington Hills, MI, USA | March 28, 2022 -- CCE, a leading provider of advanced CAD interoperability solutions, announced its recent release of EnSuite-Cloud ReVue that allows users to collaborate using latest versions from all major CAD formats.

EnSuite-Cloud ReVue is a revolutionary web-based real-time engineering collaboration software that allows users to collaborate using the latest versions of all major 2D and 3D CAD formats. What sets it apart from other collaboration and screen-sharing applications is the ability for participants to take local control of the CAD model for their independent review and analysis, without disrupting the meeting for everyone else or compromising intellectual property. Users can collaborate using the latest CAD versions from CATIA V5, 3DXML, NX, Creo, SOLIDWORKS, Inventor, Solid Edge, JT, Parasolid and glTF among others.

“The success we’ve had with EnSuite-Cloud ReVue since its initial launch last year has a lot to do with our ability to keep pace with the changes in the CAD formats and keeping our software up-to-date at all times. With CAD companies moving to subscription licensing, end users adopt new CAD versions a lot sooner and with regularity than before. Its incumbent upon us, especially as a key design collaboration tool, to always support these latest versions,” said Vinay Wagle, CCE’s V.P. of Sales and Marketing.

Besides enhancements related to supporting latest CAD versions, there have been significant number of product interface updates that will provide users with a richer user experience. This is in continuation of recent updates earlier this year related to the introduction of “SmartPicking” and “SmartMeasure” tools aimed at making the collaboration sessions significantly more efficient.

Since its general availability earlier this year, EnSuite-Cloud ReVue has received rave reviews from leading industry analysts in publications like Lifecycle Insights, Engineering.com, MCADCafe, Digital Engineering among others.

Key benefits of using EnSuite-Cloud ReVue for secure online meetings for engineering collaboration over typical screen-sharing apps like Zoom, Teams and Webex include:

* Independent Local control of collaboration session without compromising intellectual property
* High-quality 3D rendering with zero loss of fidelity of viewable data
* Natural collaboration experience without any overhead for data or session preparation
* Ultra-low latency allowing for excellent response/refresh rates
* Low bandwidth usage allowing for easy sharing of large CAD models
* Screen-sharing option for non-CAD documents for richer collaboration

All new users can Test Drive ReVue to evaluate the product using just their Google or Microsoft emails. Users can visit the EnSuite-Cloud ReVue page for additional product and pricing information.
