Semiconductors automotive-grade MCU Microcontroller semiconductor. onsemi wirelessONSEMI NCV-RSL15 ultra-low power automotive-grade wireless microcontroller with Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity is suitable 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. Devices also addresses heightened security concerns resulting from more sensors and with that more possible attack vectors. Device provides 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.
