| Toshiba Electronics Europe has
developed a highly integrated system-on-chip processor.
Instrument clusters are using more thin film transistor (TFT) displays
to convey information to the driver.
Called Capricorn-A, Toshiba’s processor provides cost-effective
driving and management of display tasks.
This will be important as OEMs introduce TFT screens, now mainly in luxury
cars, into lower segment vehicles.
The Capricorn A’s high level of integration cuts component count
and costs and fewer external PCB tracks reduce EMC shielding requirements.
