NCV-RSL15 combines the industry’s lowest power
consumption and latest in embedded security for vehicle access,
tire monitoring and more
onsemi (Nasdaq: ON), a leader in intelligent power and
sensing technologies, today announced an ultra-low power
automotive-grade wireless microcontroller with Bluetooth® Low
Energy connectivity. The NCV-RSL15 is ideal for vehicle
manufacturers who are increasingly favoring wireless connectivity
to reduce the cost and weight of excess cabling as the number of
sensors and in-vehicle communication grows. The new microcontroller
also addresses heightened security concerns resulting from more
sensors and with that more possible attack vectors.
While the lists of sensors and general functionality in Tire
Monitoring Systems (TMS) and other sensing applications continue to
grow, the power consumption budget has not increased. At the same
time, some applications now have a requirement for a 10-year
battery lifetime. The NCV-RSL15 is certified by the EEMBC as the
industry’s lowest power secure, wireless microcontroller, featuring
the proprietary smart sense power mode, it is designed to use as
little power as possible. Being able to conserve more battery
directly equates to increased product longevity.
“Excelling at applications such as vehicle access and Tire
Monitoring Systems, the miniature size of NCV-RSL15 makes it
perfectly suited for portable remote access devices and other
space-constrained in-tire and in-vehicle locations,” said Michel De
Mey, vice president of the Industrial Solutions Division, onsemi.
“By combining ultra-low power consumption with a tiny footprint,
and the latest technology in embedded security into one device, we
enable our customers to meet their complex sensing-related design
challenges for wireless-enabled automotive applications.”
As the number of access points increases, so does the number of
potential attack vectors that must be secured to protect against
unauthorized wireless access to the vehicle’s central body computer
or central processing unit. The NCV-RSL15 offers the latest in
embedded security with Arm® CryptoCell™ featuring hardware-based
root-of-trust secure boot, many user-accessible
hardware-accelerated cryptographic algorithms, and
Firmware-over-the-Air (FOTA) capabilities to enable future firmware
updates and deployment of security patches.
With its rich library of sample code, the comprehensive and
easy-to-use software development kit provides a springboard for
application development. Along with 24/7 development community
support, onsemi makes it easy to design in.
