Joint Chip sets by Bosch and Free scale

Free scale Semiconductor and the Bosch Group's Automotive Electronics division have combined their leading positions in automotive electronics and systems expertise to create an automotive airbag reference platform for the growing automotive safety segment in emerging markets such as India and China.

The new airbag reference platform is based on chipsets from Free scale's Qorivva 32-bit micro controller (MCU) family and Bosch's Airbag ASSP family and works with sensors from both companies.
With this new reference platform, Bosch and Free scale are enabling local suppliers to adopt an air bag safety solution that helps them improve time to market, reduce design risks, is easy to use and affordable, and delivers the highest automotive quality standards.
The reference design platform comes with preloaded demonstration software. Sales and application support for their respective components will be offered by Bosch and Free scale individually.
