The continuous development of automobile cockpit technology is driving the innovation of instrument panels in a more intelligent direction. From the early mechanical pointer type to digital segment code display, to the most popular full LCD instrument display at present, with the continuous advancement of digital technology, the display functions of automobile instrument panels are becoming more and more abundant. Under this trend, Dalian Pinjia launched an automotive digital instrument panel solution based on the Infineon CYT3DL microcontroller. This solution can not only intuitively and accurately display information and images such as vehicle speed, rotational speed, fuel consumption, etc., but also provide drivers with more information. Intelligent interactive experience.

This solution uses CYT3DL in the Infineon TVII-C series as the main control, uses TVII-C's unique Graphic driver, and supports 2D and 2.5D (perspective deformation, 3D effects) graphics rendering. CYT3DL can realize the basic functions of a digital instrument panel with a single MCU, and has a price advantage compared to SoC solutions. In addition, CYT3DL has a Warping function that can realize image distortion correction, and is also equipped with a JPEG decoder image decoding and vector drawing engine, and supports Enhanced Security Hardware Extensions (eSHE) and Hardware Security Module (HSM) to achieve security. In terms of power consumption, CYT3DL has a low-power mode to achieve fine power management.
