Beyond Bits VII - Freescale Semiconductor

Introducing Vybrid
Controller Solutions
Rich applications in real time

Welcome to the latest edition of Beyond Bits, created to help you bring your innovative
design ideas to life.
This edition provides an in-depth look at our Vybrid portfolio of controller solutions, designed to dramatically
simplify solutions that need rich human-machine interface (HMI) and connectivity concurrent with real-time
control and response. We’re taking the concept of a total embedded solution approach further, and helping
you bring differentiated products to market faster. Complex embedded systems must continue to operate
consistently and predictably. The Vybrid brand is distinguished by software tightly coupled with silicon—
enabling concurrent low-latency communication between high-level operating systems such as Linux and
real-time operating systems (RTOS) like MQX. We realize that the majority of product development time
lies in getting the software right. Starting with the Vybrid portfolio, we will release software virtual models of
silicon to help you begin software development before silicon is available—shortening the cycle of time to
revenue.
The Vybrid family provides unprecedented system integration, starting with a unique heterogeneous
architecture that brings together ARM ® Cortex-A and ARM Cortex-M cores as well as a powerful array
of peripherals. Extensive communication and memory options, as well as support for external peripherals and
memory, are available. Security and data integrity has been carefully considered, with features for safeguarding
memory, content management and communication. HMI and multimedia options include audio interfaces,
dual display controllers, video interface and OpenVG GPU for UI acceleration.
The Vybrid portfolio also provides a broad offering of supporting resources, including reference designs,
application notes, white papers, on-demand training, board support packages and middleware. We also
provide a way to ease early software development by releasing a software virtual model, as well as IDE tool
support such as our Eclipse-based CodeWarrior Development Studio with Processor Expert, ARM DS-5 and
the modular Tower System development platform. This support, along with the vast resources of the ARM and
open-source communities, will help simplify your design process and reduce your time to market.
Our extensive range of 8-, 16- and 32-bit MCUs and MPUs offers solutions you can trust. You can count
on us to deliver industry-leading vertical solutions, scalable product lines, intellectual property and process
technology roadmaps, outstanding technical support, a robust ecosystem and
a broad range of devices, available for a minimum of 10 years.*
Thank you for considering Freescale solutions for your next-generation design. We look forward to
working with you.
