Motorola and Delphi Team Up to Drive Next Generation Powertrain Control Systems

        Industry Giants to Develop Advanced Engine Management Systems

    AUSTIN, Texas, July 3 Today Motorola and Delphi Automotive
Systems announced an alliance to develop future powertrain control systems
based on the PowerPC(TM) architecture to meet increasing automotive
application demands.  Motorola, the #1 supplier of microcontrollers to the
automotive industry (1) and Delphi, a leading supplier of automotive
electronics, plan to blend their respective skills and technologies to create
engine management systems that meet next generation requirements.
    The technology driver behind this alliance is Motorola's advanced
automotive control architecture powered by the latest PowerPC e500 core.  This
latest PowerPC Book E compliant core was formally disclosed at the Embedded
Microprocessors Forum on June 12 and is engineered to provide a high
performance core for next generation system on chip solutions for networking,
transportation and other high performance embedded control applications.
    The planned PowerPC e500 core based devices will build on the success of
the current PowerPC MPC5XX family, which is quickly becoming an industry
standard for engine management and transmission control applications.  In
1999, Microprocessor Report rated the PowerPC architecture as the #1 choice
for 32-bit embedded applications.  The powerful new DSP instruction set and
enhanced embedded features, coupled with the legendary performance of the
PowerPC architecture, give Motorola's e500 core the ability to perform many
functions in software previously requiring specialist external analog ICs for
automotive applications.  Like the highly successful MPC5XX microcontrollers,
the next generation e500 based products are expected to be available with
multiple family members and will be software compatible with today's products,
enabling systems that are more efficient, integrated, and cost-effective than
those currently available.
    "Motorola and Delphi have a long history of successful collaboration,
beginning in the mid-1970s when the two companies jointly developed the first
engine control unit for the automotive industry," commented Dr. Franz Fink,
general manager of Motorola's 32-bit Embedded Controller Division: "We're
excited they have chosen this PowerPC architecture as a key technology to
develop their next generation engine management systems.  With Delphi's
successful positioning across a wide range of engine control applications, we
are confident this relationship will help further solidify this technology as
a standard in the industry."
    The recent announcements of the latest MPC5XX family members -- the
MPC555, MPC565, and MPC561 -- continue Motorola's strong commitment to the
automotive market.  The e500 system architecture for the automotive market
will be introduced later this year, with further MPC5XX family members also
being introduced to the market.  The e500 system is ideal for powertrain
applications like engine management as well as other high-end applications
including suspension control.
