Broadcom Extends Automotive Ethernet Leadership with New Innovative Gigabit-capable PHY, Secure Switch and Smart Camera MCU
08 October 2018 - 7:00PM
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced its latest portfolio
of automotive Ethernet devices designed to advance in-vehicle
connectivity, infotainment, advanced driver assistance systems
(ADAS) and smart mobility. With more than 50 million automotive
100BASE-T1 BroadR-Reach® PHY and switch Ethernet ports shipped and
growing, Broadcom expands its portfolio with the addition of
1000BASE-T1 PHY, secure switch and smart camera MCU devices to
address new and emerging applications.
As the inventor of the 100BASE-T1 BroadR-Reach technology, the
founding member of OPEN Alliance and an active contributor to IEEE
802.3 task force, Broadcom has played a major role in establishing
one pair Ethernet as a new standard that has paved the way for a
slew of new in-vehicle connectivity applications. Broadcom’s latest
array of innovation and proven technologies include:
- 100BASE-T1 / 1000BASE-T1 Ethernet PHY: BCM8988x
- 100BASE-T1 / 1000BASE-T1 switches with full security:
BCM8955x
- Camera MCU with computer vision functionality: BCM8910x
Ethernet has become the de-facto networking technology for
connecting various electronic systems in the car, such as body
electronics, infotainment, and ADAS. High speed Ethernet links are
essential in getting endpoints such as cameras, RADAR and LIDAR to
transfer large amounts of data across the network for accurate real
time decision making. Broadcom’s latest addition of 1000BASE-T1 PHY
and secure switches address this need for higher bandwidth while
providing an unprecedented level of performance, efficiency and
scalability.
The BCM8988x (1000Base-T1 PHY) and BCM8955x (Secure Switch) are
designed to operate over one pair UTP cables which are important
for reducing weight, space and system cost. These products also
deliver best-in-class EMC and EMI performance and support PoDL
functionality for automotive applications. The BCM8910x (Camera
MCU) devices with fully integrated image processing and Ethernet
streaming pipeline allow for scalable camera solutions from low
latency video encoders to smart camera MCUs, addressing a wide
range of automotive vision-based applications.
Broadcom will showcase its latest portfolio of automotive
Ethernet devices and discuss next generation technologies at the
2018 IEEE-SA Ethernet & IP @ Automotive Technology Day in
London, UK from October 9th to 10th.
“We are excited to be leading the next evolution of in-vehicle
connectivity and networking. Broadcom has been instrumental in
developing the automotive One Pair Ethernet technology and
ecosystem from inception. As new technologies make inroads into
vehicles, Ethernet will play a crucial role in the next wave of
automotive applications. Our latest offering of Gigabit capable
portfolio and our continued efforts to define next generation PHY
technologies, is empowering auto manufacturers to bring new
innovations to next generation connected vehicles,” said Ali Abaye,
senior director of marketing of the Physical Layer Products
Division at Broadcom.
“The push towards vehicle automation is driving the separation
of sensors and processing, while also mandating the fitment of
higher-resolution sensors. Both of these trends will in turn drive
the adoption of reliable and higher throughput in-vehicle
networking standards,” said James Hodgson, senior analyst at ABI
Research. “These new gigabit-capable product launches will help
Broadcom to maintain the leading position they have developed in
automotive-grade Ethernet.”
