Abstract :
Semiconductor manufacturers continue to integrate functionality into systems on a chip. Focused target in the automotive area for today are system basis chips. In this context system basis chips are all surrounding components for embedded mu-controllers, such as: transceivers, watch-dogs, voltage-regulators, sensor-interfaces, switches and diagnosis functions. Because of the lack of a standard, implementations differ and acceptance is missing in the development community. Also the potential evolution of the system CPU+SBC does not happen, because no common target does exist. Therefore major car manufacturers are going to introduce a new standard: CARbridge.
