TTTech and ARM Collaborate on TTP for Advanced Automotive Electronics VIENNA, Austria and CAMBRIDGE, U.K.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2000--TTTech -- Time-Triggered Technology and ARM (LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY) today announced that the two companies will collaborate on TTP(R) and ARM(R) core-based microcontroller platforms for next-generation automotive by-wire applications such as brake- and steer-by-wire. These highly reliable solutions will allow automotive companies worldwide to provide consumers with advanced electronics features that enable better safety, lower costs, reduced energy consumption, additional comfort and higher performance. TTTech and ARM will demonstrate an ARM7TDMI(TM) core with a TTP/C controller module on TTTech's booth at the SAE 2000 Conference, March 6-9 (Austrian Exhibition, Booth No. 2925). "This demonstration represents only the first step of the integration of TTP into the ARM world," said Stefan Poledna, CEO of TTTech. "We are extremely happy to work with ARM as well as with its industry-leading semiconductor partners, to bring the TTP Protocol into silicon on a vast scale." TTP is a communication architecture for distributed real-time embedded computer systems. This innovative technology allows the design, construction, and maintenance of fault-tolerant complex systems with faster turn-around times and at lower system costs. The protocol variant TTP/C is used in applications where dependable, hard real-time performance is required, including automotive, aerospace, industrial control, robotics and medical electronics systems. Several of the world's leading vehicle manufacturers and suppliers in Europe, the U.S. and Japan, are already in development with TTP-based silicon implementations for "x-by-wire" applications. "As the ARM(R) architecture continues to gain momentum in the automotive electronics market, we are seeing a rapidly increasing demand from automotive developers for advanced system-on-chip solutions incorporating TTP technology," said Wolfgang Katterman, business development manager, ARM. "This collaboration will enable a highly reliable implementation of TTTech's technology on the ARM architecture, further demonstrating our commitment to the automotive market."
