Vehicle Networking and Connectivity

Xilinx Automotive (XA) platforms eliminate the need for expensive, complex wiring with robust support for multiple in-vehicle networking standards including: MOST®, CAN, APIX, and EAVB.

Industry-leading FPGAs act independently as a complete system-on-chip, or companion chip to an ASSP, microcontroller, or DSP device. Integrating vehicle network connections with audio/video processing acceleration or graphics subsystems on a single Xilinx platform creates a cost-effective, application-specific solution.

The XA Spartan-6 product line is ideal for infotainment and in-vehicle networking applications with:

• Integrated PCI Express® compliant blocks for chip-to-chip communication
• Scalability to address multiple feature classes across automotive lines
• Flexibility to upgrade features and functionality as new networking standards emerge
• Tailored IP for automotive-specific functions
