The integration of different logical I/O functions – including control loops – in a single zonal module means that the module inherits the sum of the individual requirements per I/O function, resulting in these specific requirements for microcontrollers (MCUs):
Addressing this diverse list of requirements necessitates MCUs to support zonal module driven requirements. In the meantime, heterogenous system-on-chips (SoCs) with sufficient real-time capabilities such as the Jacinto 7 (for example, DRA821) or Sitara (for example, AM2xxx) devices from Texas Instruments (TI) can bridge the gap until optimized zone MCUs are available.
