IEBus (Inter Equipment Bus) is a communication bus specification "between equipments within a vehicle or a chassis" of Renesas Electronics. It defines OSI model layer 1 and layer 2 specification. IEBus is mainly used for car audio and car navigations, which established de facto standard in Japan, though SAE J1850 is major in United States. [1]
IEBus is also used in some vending machines, which major customer is Fuji Electric. [2] :244(42) Each button on the vending machine has an IEBus ID, i.e. has a controller.
Detailed specification is disclosed to licensees only, but protocol analyzers are provided from some test equipment vendors. [3] Its modulation method is PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) with 6.00 MHz base clock originally, but most of automotive customers use 6.291 MHz, and physical layer is a pair of differential signalling harness. Its physical layer adopts half-duplex, asynchronous, and multi-master communication with carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) for medium access control. [4] :7 It allows for up to fifty units on one bus over a maximum length of 150 meters. [4] :7 Two differential signalling lines are used with Bus+ / Bus− naming, [4] :5 sometimes labeled as Data(+) / Data(−).

Contents

It is sometimes described as "IE-BUS", "IE-Bus," or "IE Bus," but these are incorrect. In formal, it is "IEBus." IEBus® and Inter Equipment Bus® are registered trademark symbols of Renesas Electronics Corporation, formerly NEC Electronics Corporation, (JPO: Reg. No.2552418 [5] and 2552419, [6] respectively).

History

In the middle of '80s, semiconductor unit of NEC Corporation, currently Renesas Electronics, started the study for increasing demands for automotive audio systems. [7] IEBus is introduced as a solution for the distributed control system. [8] :18

In the late 1980s, several similar specifications, including the Domestic Digital Bus (D2B) , the Japanese Home Bus (HBS), [9] [10] [11] and the European Home System (EHS) are proposed by different companies or organizations. These were once discussed as IEC 61030, [12] but it was withdrawn in 2006. IEBus is also a similar specification (refer to "Transfer signal format" section), but not listed in this criteria. As the result, IEBus becomes a de facto standard of car audio in Japan.[ citation needed ]
Regarding the Domestic Digital Bus (D2B) , it is re-defined as D2B Optical by Mercedes-Benz independently.
As for Japanese Home Bus System (HBS), it is defined in 1988 as Home Bus System Standard Specification, ET-2101 by JEITA and REEA (Radio Engineering & Electronics Assiation) in Japan. It is being used by several Japanese air conditioner manufacturers (for example, M-Net from Mitsubishi [13] and the P1/P2 or F1/F2 bus from Daikin [14] [15] ). Fujitsu provided HBPC (Home Bus Protocol Controller) chip as MB86046B. [11] But it is unclear whether Fujitsu (currently, Cypress) still manufactures this HBPC LSI as of 2018. Mitsumi Electric provides the MM1007 and MM1192 driver ICs for HBS. The HBS specification is also discussed in the Echonet Consortium. [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] In 2014, a utility model patent for protocol converter from HBS to RS-485 is granted in China as "CN204006496U." [21]

Regarding the replacement of IEBus, a paper by Hyundai Autonet, currently Hyundai Mobis , [22] describes as follows. "In communication methods for digital input capable amplifiers, Inter Equipment Bus (IEBus) was used in early times, but for now, Controller Area Network (CAN) is mainly used." [23]

Protocol overview

A master talks to a slave. Each unit has a master and a slave address register. Only one device can talk on the bus at any given time. There is a pecking order for the types of communications which will take precedence over another. Each communication from master to slave must be replied to by the slave going back to the master with acknowledge bits each of those show ACK or NAK. [4] :10 If the master does not receive the ACK within a predefined time allowance for a mode, it drops the communication and returns to its standby (listen) mode.

Detailed specification of OSI model layer 2 is disclosed to licensees only, but protocol analyzers are provided from some test equipment vendors. [3] [24] In 2012, one of Chinese manufacturer's patent is granted as "CN202841169U". [25]

An open-source software emulator called "IEBus Studio" exists on a repository of SourceForge, but the last update was on 2008-02-24. [26] [27] Another open-source analyzer software called "IEBusAnalyzer" is available on GitHub repository. [28] Some hobbyist made some tools also. [29]

Physical layer (OSI model layer 1) specification overview

Half-duplex asynchronous communication
All the units connected to the IEBus can transfer data to the other units.
Normally, communication is individually carried out from one unit to another. By using the broadcast communication function, however, communication can be executed from one unit to plural units as follows:
  • Group broadcast communication: Broadcast communication to group units
  • Simultaneous broadcast communication: Broadcast communication to all units
The effective transmission rate can be selected from the following three communication modes:
Mixture of the plural of modes in the same bus line is not allowed.
Correct communication between different base clock is not possible.

  • Preparation period: The first or subsequent low-level (logic "1") period
  • Synchronization period: Next high-level (logic "0") period
  • Data period: Period indicating value of bit; ether low-level (logic "1") or high-level (logic "0")

Each manufacturer has its own name, but it is not an alias of IEBus. Those are specifications of wire harness which comprise control cables based on IEBus, OSI model layer 3 and above communication protocol, audio cables, interconnection couplers, and so on.

Pioneer

Pioneer Corporation employed IEBus for its original branded car audio in early '90s. In its earlier stage, it was used just for control bus between the head unit in dashboard and the CD changer usually placed in trunk room. Nowadays, the specification includes connection between head units, navigation systems, rear speaker systems, and so on.

Toyota

Pioneer Corporation pushed Toyota Motor Corporation to adopt IEBus as the genuine parts. In 1994, Toyota decided to employ IEBus for its genuine specification, [34] but it is slightly different from that of Pioneer. It is named as AVC-LAN.

Honda/Acura

Pioneer Corporation also pushed Honda Motor. Honda also decided to adopt IEBus as its genuine parts specification just after Toyota do so.

Sirius XM Satellite Radio

Sirius XM Satellite Radio is a satellite broadcasting radio operator in US. Its digital media receiver equipment utilizes IEBus. [43]

Evaluation boards

SAKURA board

GR-SAKUKRA board and GR-SAKURA-FULL board [44] are Renesas official promotion boards of RX63N chip, which enables IEBus mode 0 and 1, but not mode 2, i.e. not available for Toyota AVC-LAN. They are an Arduino pin compatible low-price ones, suitable for hobbyists. Their color of printed circuit board is SAKURA in Japanese, which means cherry blossom. To evaluate IEBus, an external 5V bus interface transceiver (driver/receiver) IC extension is required. The transceiver needs to correspond to 3.3V microcontroller (TTL logic voltage level) interface, otherwise 3.3V ↔ 5.0V level shifter is required. Dedicated terminals of RX63N chip themselves are 5V tolerant. For further information, refer to external links.

IEBus IP core

Semiconductor intellectual property core of IEBus is available via IP core Exchange. [45]

IEBus-enabled ICs

Most of IEBus controller LSIs require external dedicated bus interface transceivers (driver/receiver ICs). In its earlier stage, bus interface transceiver is included in the device, but it raised some restrictions to users. [46] As is described in Pioneer's paper, external bus interface transceiver seems much stable. [32] Some people tried to use TI's SN75176B for this purpose, but the result seems not to be reported. [47]

Each IEBus controller may have different implementation as long as the specification can be kept. As the result, host CPU load for each IEBus controller implementation differs.

Nowadays, there are thousands of microcontroller products to be list up, those which incorporate various different IEBus controller implementations. The following list is historically notable example.

The LPC chips are grouped into related series that are based around the same 32-bit ARM processor core, such as the Cortex-M4F, Cortex-M3, Cortex-M0+, or Cortex-M0. Internally, each microcontroller consists of the processor core, static RAM memory, flash memory, debugging interface, and various peripherals. The earliest LPC series were based on the Intel 8-bit 80C51 core. As of February 2011, NXP had shipped over one billion ARM processor-based chips.

RL78 Family is a 16-bit CPU core for embedded microcontrollers of Renesas Electronics introduced in 2010.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">ESP32</span> Low-cost, low-power SoC microcontrollers with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

ESP32 is a series of low-cost, low-power system on a chip microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth. The ESP32 series employs either a Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor in both dual-core and single-core variations, Xtensa LX7 dual-core microprocessor or a single-core RISC-V microprocessor and includes built-in antenna switches, RF balun, power amplifier, low-noise receive amplifier, filters, and power-management modules. ESP32 is created and developed by Espressif Systems, a Chinese company based in Shanghai, and is manufactured by TSMC using their 40 nm process. It is a successor to the ESP8266 microcontroller.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">I3C (bus)</span> Serial bus specification

I3C is a specification to enable communication between computer chips by defining the electrical connection between the chips and signaling patterns to be used. Short for "Improved Inter Integrated Circuit", the standard defines the electrical connection between the chips to be a two wire, shared (multidrop), serial data bus, one wire (SCL) being used as a clock to define the sampling times, the other wire (SDA) being used as a data line whose voltage can be sampled. The standard defines a signalling protocol in which multiple chips can control communication and thereby act as the bus controller.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">78K</span> Microcontroller family

78K is the trademark name of 16- and 8-bit microcontroller family manufactured by Renesas Electronics, originally developed by NEC started in 1986. The basis of 78K Family is an accumulator-based register-bank CISC architecture. 78K is a single-chip microcontroller, which usually integrates; program ROM, data RAM, serial interfaces, timers, I/O ports, an A/D converter, an interrupt controller, and a CPU core, on one die.
