Find at difficult they oneself to not only order drop because of those credit crises globals some car subsystem supplier but also, sometimes, it is being out of date gradually that they are facing the component that is unexpected.
An engineer supplier in an engine controls the unit (ECUs) EE era that the manufacturer has already told bought the notice provided by flashing supplier Spansion Limited Company of memory on the 16th of December for the last time to car, 2008 has already made the supply chain of the car shock the memory without glare through the notice of the end of the supply of 5 V car grade. These have already been used for holding this kind of flashing memory that the engine controls the software in ECUs in engine and powertrain.

This supplier receives Spansion separated no memory will glimmer from microcontroller supplier like Infineon technological company either. Microcontroller manufacturer buys memory, and it is right to pass on it as microcontroller and memory. User assemble, enter one high dependability wrap up and plan to upwards in to car shipment of manufacturer memory. The engineer says he has already been told not to assist the source to these memories, and the face either orders a large amount of flashing memory or redesigns the range to ECUs entirely of those companies his company now.

Source, if his company has not been appraised, speak, him that emphasize, non- lonely saying a lot of company want such apparatus, Am29F200 of target, find one inclusive supplier qualified of equivalent of pin, can in Am29F400 that 5 V operate, Am29F800, and in from 55°C to abundant temperature range of car of +125°C.

The engineer has talked about in the low-voltage part already in the cabin and employed while adopting for the entertainment news, 5 V times of action put on environment to be enough to offer fine side in case electromagnetic noisy problem that EMC cause.

The advanced change notice of not Spansion: 2740 is released in December 16 concerns ” The memory products have glimmered in Fujitsu semiconductor’s production of craft Limited Company on door and MirrorBit of all flow separating gradual and out of date (FSET) The gaufrette fabricates the apparatus. ”

” I am in Canada, suppliers with the car of Italy and Belgium contacts all and tells me that they can not get some. They talked about buying last time but we did not know how much we need. ”

Have, slope, produce and take inventory era supplier of Hyundai Motor question that can bear of development that pay to regulate law buy and prevent from not loud in time in one already Their component supplier of the stock. 20 years ago, it is essential to assist the source to be usually thought by the car manufacturer. In the past ten years, assisted the source to require that had already dropped.

Redesign ECUs
Have, supply if engineer must redesign ECUs in microcontrollers and glimmer source say together on slice while being other. However, this requires at least PCB overall arrangement will exchange, I/O will change and the nearly natural software change, that is that microcontrollers may be found if it is enough to glimmer memory is on slice. Effective, this company faces the problem that must be in the moon and redesigns its whole production line, a almost impossible task, personnel say news.

Industry and consumer’s department bumped into memory glimmered before 5 v the end from Spansion, but here situation from TaiwanMIC technological company like at least two company with offer inclusive substituting Spansion of safety pin part here in some time Silicon solution Limited Company ave forever of the consumer temperature range. AMIC entitle some parts in industry temperature range and reach +85 &-#176; or worker above the so-called light range of car of +105°C in 40°C even already Do.

John’s country, the sales manager of the company of Spansion, say: ” When the volume is reduced to very low level, to company, it is normal to make the products out of date. We make great efforts to offer one to upgrade the road, but this is not always possible. It is the approaching one’s end can take place at any time because end a series of development or rolls of the end produce. ”

It explains and cancels them when commerce and industrial grade are proper that the country says old 5 V memory and orders the suitable car. And 5 V a part will disappear and will be expected finally.

” Users have 9 months [since the d.t.b.a. ] because 9 months of delivery bought and planned for the last time. ”

” It seems that it is us that because we offer that lengthen life of 5 V. ” These part the last company punish severely

Country say Spansion offer high performance occur abruptly way glimmer memory work that to 3.0 V and even if 2.7 V for ECUs to use. What proportion the country has not announced memory of the car grade of Spansion to ship and already move to and less than 5 V action onces.

Question of industrial circle
However, the engineer emphasizes it is a question of a industrial circle. ” Infineon has in 5 V 167 microcontroller, and the flashing memory which it need separating in qualification of the car. Where will that come from? ”

Rob and rise AMIC technology (Europe) Stewart BV,say: ” Infineon has already been close to us and replace some those [flashing memory separated ]. But we employ and design some in them before 10 for consumers and the industry. They have never been inclined to the market of the car. “
