Embodiment Construction

[0012]An apparatus on an integrated circuit provides a real-time flexible interface between inputs from a vehicle components and outputs to the vehicle control components. The functions comprises of a programmable interconnection matrix, engine sensors and a control interface. Both engine sensors and control functions comprise of fixed hardwired functions and a customization hardware area. The apparatus therefore provides means for flexible power train events control target for the next generation of low-polluting power trains of vehicles.

[0013]FIG. 1 depicts an exemplary and non-limiting schematic block diagram of an apparatus 100 implemented in accordance with the principles of the invention. A programmable interconnections matrix (PIM) 110 is designed to allow, under the control of an appropriate controller, the configuration of the connections between sensing elements of the power train of a vehicle and the control elements that control the power train. By being able to change c...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention generally relates to vehicle control and more specifically to an integrated programmable solution for electronic control of the new generation of low polluting and fuel efficient powertrain of vehicles.[0003]2. Prior Art[0004]At both national and international levels, states are setting legislations and standards that impose on vehicles to be either more fuel-efficient or more environmental friendly by limiting CO2 and other pollutant emissions. These include, for example, EURO 6 and EC 443 / 2009 in Europe, CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standard and EPA (Environment Protection Agency) regulation in US and MOE (Ministry of the Environment) emission standards in Japan. In parallel, leaders of the automotive market are working on a common frame, the ISO 26262 standard, to make electrical / electronic systems, embedded in vehicle, more reliable. In countries such as China and India such regulations, const...
