E981.08 for safe sensor systems with up to 12 sensors

Dortmund: ELMOS presents the 981.08 as the first semiconductor worldwide
that has passed the conformance tests according to PSI5 specification V1.3,
conducted by an external test lab recommended by the PSI5 consortium.

PSI5 is an open standard for bidirectional digital sensor data
communication in vehicles. Compared to analog options, this solution has
advantages particularly with respect to robustness, reliability, and costs.
The standard is applied, among other fields of use, for connecting
distributed sensors for the control of airbag systems, chassis, and
powertrain.

The component E981.08 supports the entire range of topologies for
synchronous operation as described by the PSI5 specification (PSI5-P,
PSI5-U, and PSI5-D). It provides four independent channels through which up
to three distributed sensors each can be connected to a microcontroller.
Each channel supplies its sensors, connected via a low-cost two-wire line,
with a controlled direct current voltage. The bidirectional communication
between microcontroller and sensors also makes use of the two-wire line by
means of current or voltage modulation. The available data rata from sensor
to microcontroller comes to 125 kbit/s. It is thus considerably higher than
in LIN networks yet below CAN network data rates, but at lower wiring
expense.

In addition to the PSI5 component E981.08 with four channels, the
two-channel E981.07 is also available.

Other components featuring the universal, fast, and safe sensor bus system
PSI5 are in the development and planning stages.

Samples and evaluation boards are available and can be requested online at
