SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Feb. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL), a world leader in storage, cloud
infrastructure, Internet of Things (IoT), connectivity and
multimedia semiconductor solutions, today announced a new
automotive Ethernet reference platform integrated with TE
Connectivity's (TE) MATEnet modular and scalable connector for
automotive Ethernet.
Marvell's new development platform supports audio video bridging
(AVB) switching solutions with 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 Ethernet
physical layer (PHY) capability. The platform also enables car
manufacturers to quickly prototype automotive systems with Gigabit
Ethernet for electrical and electronic (E/E) architectures
including In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI), Advanced Driver Assistance
Systems (ADAS), Electronic Control Units (ECU) and Vehicle Domain
Gateways.
"The next generation of vehicle technology requires a high
speed, resilient data infrastructure that can operate in the robust
conditions of an automobile. Applications like autonomous driving,
advanced safety features and an immersive infotainment system are
all driving these new architectures," said Philip Poulidis, Vice President and General
Manager, Automotive, Wireless and Internet of Things Business Units
at Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. "Marvell is excited to provide the
industry's first development platform that combines our network and
Ethernet expertise with TE's experience in providing real world
automotive connector and cable systems to enable vehicle architects
to begin designing these systems for mass production."
"We are thrilled to work with Marvell to integrate our solution
into the first automotive systems that will offer 1000Mbps
connectivity," said Eric Kueppers,
president of TE's Global Automotive Business. "We were impressed
with Marvell's innovative Ethernet PHY technology specifically
designed for automotive 100 and 1000BASE-T1 Ethernet PHY transfer
and the company's proven leadership in designing connectivity
solutions for next-generation, connected cars."
Marvell's automotive reference platform provides 100BASE-T1,
1000BASE-T1 and 10/100/1000BASE-T1 Ethernet PHY ports with advanced
switching silicon. The platform includes support for the AVB
networking standards of the AVnu Alliance's certification test
subgroup (CDS). Support includes Stream Reservation Protocol (SRP)
to provide end-to-end management of resource reservations for
automotive data streams. Marvell's Ethernet PHYs enable high
definition and uncompressed video, high speed links between domains
to support connected and autonomous driving systems and the fastest
system bring up from power down to A/V Bridging (AVB) operation.
Included in the reference platform are Marvell's 88Q2112 100BASE-T1
PHY and 88Q1010 100BASE-T1 PHY transceivers, 88EA6352 automotive
grade AVB 7 port switch and 88EA1512 10/100/1000BASE-T PHY
transceivers. The BASE-T1 technology is compatible with TE's
MATEnet modular and scalable connector for automotive Ethernet.
TE's offering is also compatible with Marvell's automotive
reference platform and includes 1-port and 5-port links for
100/1000 BASE-T1 connectivity.
The 88Q2112 is the industry's first 1000BASE-T1 automotive
Ethernet PHY transceiver compliant with the draft IEEE 802.3bp
1000BASE-T1 standard. The 88Q2112 supports the market's highest
in-vehicle connectivity bandwidth and is designed to meet the
rigorous EMI requirements of an automotive system. The 1000BASE-T1
standard allows high speed and bi-directional data traffic over
light weight, low cost single pair cable harnesses. The 88Q2112
enables the transport of in-vehicle uncompressed 720p30 camera
video and support for multiple HD video streams, including 4K
resolution. The 88Q1010 low-power PHY device supports 100BASE-T1
and is compliant with the IEEE 802.3bw 100BASE-T1 standard. The
88Q1010 supports compressed 1080p60 video for infotainment and
camera systems and enables data transport in the car. Its low power
design and integrated filter reduce bill of materials (BOM) costs
and enable small form factor designs. The combination of these
components enables a robust infotainment and ADAS experience that
today's drivers demand in the connected car.
TE's MATEnet modular and scalable connector for automotive
Ethernet is designed to meet the harsh automotive environment
by providing the performance needed in automotive Ethernet data
transmission up to 1Gbit/s, according to IEEE 100/1000BASE-T1.
Based on miniaturized standard automotive terminals, such as
NanoMQS, Generation50, MCON 050 and 0.50 Series, MATEnet connectors
represent a global terminal platform. In addition, there is an
opportunity to use TP (Twisted Pair), UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
and STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) types of cable for Ethernet
applications. The MATEnet connector can also be adapted to
customers' specific needs.
