Controller Area Network is vital. It allows the ECU to talk to dashboards, PDMs (Power Distribution Modules), and telemetry systems. Look for support for CAN 2.0B .
Number of sensors and actuators the unit can handle (e.g., 7 inputs and 10 outputs on the FuelTech FT450 Go to product viewer dialog for this item.
: Quickly identifies microprocessors, memory chips, and other electronic components on an ECU board. PCB Schematics
: Displays the exact type of memory and processors used in specific ECUs.
: Real-time adjustment of dampening based on road conditions.
A "System-in-Package" IC found in many modern compact ECUs. It integrates ignition IGBTs and injector drivers. It is an excellent case study in space-saving automotive design.
