MOST150 Technology to Control the Infotainment System on Volvo Cars’ Second-Generation XC60 SUV
July 18 2017 - 8:03AM
Media Oriented System Transport (MOST®) technology, developed by
Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MCHP), will network the
in-vehicle infotainment system of Volvo Cars’ second-generation
XC60 SUV. The highly publicized Volvo XC60 will be the fourth Volvo
model to implement MOST150 technology, which continues to meet
Volvo’s high standards for in-vehicle infotainment. Volvo Cars has
been utilizing Microchip’s MOST technology for years to provide the
highest-quality digital multichannel audio streaming.
MOST150 is the latest version of MOST technology. It provides
the industry’s first automotive-ready physical layer for Ethernet
packet transport inside vehicles in accordance with the IEEE 802.3
Ethernet specifications. MOST150 can transport video, audio, packet
and control data with zero processor overhead and offers dedicated
application-specific hardware interfaces to simplify data
communication. MOST technology offers a robust and proven method of
system management and control with reliable Quality of Service
(QoS). In addition, MOST technology offers a complete and scalable
system solution which includes a full ecosystem of tools, software,
schematics and multimedia companion IC products.
“The second-generation Volvo XC60 was highly publicized and a
true industry-leading car model in terms of features and
infotainment,” said Dan Termer, Microchip’s automotive vice
president. “Volvo Cars’ inclusion of MOST150 technology in this new
model continues to prove that MOST150 technology is an excellent
option for fast and reliable automotive infotainment.”
The MOST Cooperation standards enable
automotive manufacturers and their tier one suppliers with an
established and well-supported methodology for defining and
implementing high-bandwidth infotainment and Advanced Driver
Assistance (ADAS) systems in vehicles. The technology includes a
standard physical layer and a robust method for system management
and control with superior reliability and Quality of Service (QoS).
Using MOST technology also reduces weight for easier compliance
with environmental regulations.
