FlexRay Communication Controller

Overview

FlexRay^™ networking is a next-generation automotive communication protocol featuring high bandwidth, determinism, and fault tolerance.

The NXP ^® MFR4310 stand-alone FlexRay controller eases the integration of FlexRay communication in applications using MCUs without an embedded FlexRay controller.

Provides high-speed deterministic distributed control for advanced automotive applications
Communicates directly with the S12X family of 16-bit MCUs, and the MPC500 and MPC5500 families of 32-bit MCUs
Offers system-wide redundancy to meet reliability requirements of emerging safety systems
Complies with FlexRay Consortium Specification v2.1A
