austriamicrosystems--global designer and manufacturer of analog integrated circuits (ICs) for automotive, communication, industrial and medical applications--has become a full member of Japan's JasPar consortium, a standards body that specializes in automotive electronic devices. This allows austriamicrosystems to participate in the development of fault-tolerant high-speed data communications in Japanese-manufactured vehicles. The JasPar consortium (Japan Automotive Software Platform Architecture), which was initiated by leading Japanese car makers Denso, Honda, Nissan and Toyota, is responsible for defining uniform, interchangeable high-speed bus architecture for the Japanese car industry.
It is said that the company has successfully supplied a range of customer-specific and standardized ICs for automotive applications that provide quality. For example, with the AS8221, austriamicrosystems introduced the first standard product in a family of high-speed bus transceiver modules for automotive data bus applications. The AS8221 features performance along with the highest specification precision, and provides the basis for developing a generation of transceiver modules for in-car data transfer that are specifically tailored to the requirements of the Japanese market.
