The low-power, high-performance P1022 processor helps embedded systems designers satisfy green-energy mandates while achieving low overall system cost.

The low cost, miniature, brushless DC motor controller packs enormous power into a tiny electronics package. Designed to drive 48-Volt brushless DC motors up to 1400 watts, this miniature controller may be the smallest in its class. Small physical sizes make it possible to develop high torque and operating speeds when overall product size and weight are application limited.

NEC Electronics Corporation and EB (Elektrobit Corporation) today announced the availability of an AUTOSAR 3.0-compatible software package for various hardware platforms. This software package enables easy design of application software without the need for new developments. The package includes AUTOSAR Basic Software and a comprehensive tool chain and was developed under close cooperation between the two companies.
