SAN JOSE, Calif., July 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxim
Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) today announced that
select products from its automotive portfolio are being used in
MediaTek's AUTUS in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) platform. To deliver
the high-performance, flexibility and efficiency required by
carmakers and tier-1 suppliers, Maxim's gigabit multimedia serial
link (GMSL) serializer and deserializer (SerDes) technology
provides best-in-class video transmission capability. In addition,
Maxim's power management solutions improve multimedia performance
and efficiency for MediaTek's platform.

MediaTek's AUTUS I20 (MT2712) is a high-performance, hexa-core
infotainment solution with a flexible interface to support multiple
displays. It links drivers to their vehicles to improve their
driving experience, passenger safety, connectivity and
entertainment by delivering information and content from the car's
sensors and multimedia sources. Next-generation surround-view
applications demand support for four simultaneous video cameras,
but legacy automotive networking technology has struggled to
deliver the required bandwidth and transmission distance.
Maxim's advanced GMSL SerDes technology delivers robust video
distribution for surround-view applications needed by MediaTek. One
MAX9286 automotive deserializer and four MAX96705 serializers from
Maxim provide synchronized video streams from four cameras via 15
meters of shielded twisted-pair (STP) or coaxial cable. Advanced
power management features help MediaTek address critical
performance, efficiency and flexibility criteria. To support data
transmission for auto sensors, entertainment content and
navigation, designers of MediaTek's MT2712 IVI platform
sought a higher-speed, higher-voltage memory technology. This
was achieved using Maxim's MAX20010 high-current, 6A buck
converter with dynamic voltage scaling, which enabled MediaTek to
migrate to a higher-voltage memory. In addition, Maxim's MAX15007
linear regulator and MAX8902B low-noise linear regulator deliver
power rail performance required for different MediaTek design
platforms.
Key Advantages Provided by Maxim's Technology:
- Next-Generation GMSL SerDes: Delivers
improved data transmission distance from 12m to 15m with the
MAX9286 as well as surround-view application support with a single
chip via frame synchronization on four input channels that enable
higher system performance by offloading the SoC. In addition,
support for MIPI-CSI-2 output enables seamless interoperability
with MediaTek's SoC, and spread-spectrum features reduce
electromagnetic interference (EMI) to improve safety and
performance.
- Robust Connectivity: Maxim's GMSL SerDes technology is
built from the ground up for the automotive environment and
provides data integrity over 15 meters.
- Power Management: With dynamic voltage scaling (DVS),
Maxim's MAX20010 high-current buck converter allows AUTUS I20
designers to upgrade to fast, higher-voltage 4GB LPDDR4/DDR4
memory, giving the multimedia processor ample power to support
multiple video-rich applications across in-car displays. Maxim's
buck converter also provides skip mode to save power when the
MediaTek IVI is running at light load.
Commentary
- "MediaTek's IVI platform meets automakers' and auto suppliers'
requirements for high levels of integration, comprehensive
multimedia packages, premium features and full connectivity," said
JC Hsu, corporate vice president of MediaTek. "Working with Maxim
