SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Dec. 2, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today introduced the
industry's first multi-gig Ethernet camera bridge solution,
88QB5224, for best-in-class video distribution in connected
vehicles. As cars become smarter, connected and software-oriented,
scalable automotive solutions will increasingly power
software-defined vehicles. The key technology for scalability is an
Ethernet backbone that connects all domain electronic control units
(ECUs) as well as cameras and sensors to central compute devices in
the vehicle. This groundbreaking Ethernet device is the latest
addition to Marvell's Brightlane™ automotive portfolio,
which is delivering a host of innovative and secure solutions for
the vehicles of the future.
Marvell's new multi-gig Ethernet camera bridge provides
standardization for in-vehicle video distribution in multiple areas
including IEEE 802.3ch compliant 10GBASE-T1 PHY, IEEE 802.1AE
MACsec for security, time synchronization, energy efficient
Ethernet for power savings, power over data line, and time
sensitive network. The Ethernet-based camera bridge enables
development of interoperable software that delivers key services
through a multilayer communication stack. It also provides a mature
ecosystem of service delivery through software-based architecture.
Marvell is first to launch a 10G Ethernet camera bridge for
distributing uncompressed video, and the first to aggregate four
cameras through a single device.
"We are extending our leadership in Ethernet-based solutions to
enable autonomous driving and usher in the next generation of
automotive architectures," said Will
Chu, senior vice president and general manager of the
Automotive Business Unit, Marvell. "Marvell's newest Ethernet
bridge solution builds on the introduction of our multi-gig 802.3ch
Ethernet 10Gbps PHY, integrated with image sensor interface. The
new Ethernet device underscores Marvell's commitment to enabling
smarter, safer and greener vehicles with innovative automotive
networking, storage, compute and security semiconductor
solutions."
"Marvell's Ethernet-based bridges are becoming an essential
component for the software-defined cars of today," said
Ian Riches, vice president for the
Global Automotive Practice, Strategy Analytics. "Not only do
Ethernet-based products fit seamlessly into a zonal architecture,
but with 802.3ch they are also proving to be an attractive
alternative to the SerDes solutions currently used to transport
video data in the vehicle."
"Today's high-speed long-distance camera to ECU communication
are proprietary point-to-point protocols that narrow our customers'
design options, which is why they have been requesting a
standardized protocol such as Ethernet," said Stephen Harris, director of Automotive Systems
Architecture at onsemi. "Marvell's 88QB5224 is a single chip 10
Gbps standard Ethernet PHY solution that provides the fast speed
needed to enable our portfolio of high-performance, ultra-dynamic
range image sensors. onsemi has become the leader in automotive
imaging by developing and supporting innovative solutions in this
space and is excited to be an early adopter of 88QB5224 by adding
it to our popular MARS (Modular Automotive Reference System)
development platform."
"As the resolution for automotive cameras continue to increase,
so too does the need of high bandwidth distribution interfaces.
Ethernet-based cameras that drive video over the in-vehicle
Ethernet network is the next revolution for next generation
vehicles. Video bridges enable video communications from cameras
and sensors to the compute devices over a network, which results in
flexibility, scalability and redundancy," said Michael Wu,
senior vice president of Global Marketing and Sales, OmniVision.
"Marvell's 10Gbps automotive Ethernet PHYs have optimal bandwidth
to support uncompressed video which is a fundamental requirement
for automotive cameras."
