Applications such as navigation, rear-seat entertainment, infotainment, rear view cameras, lane departure warning, and blind spot detection will increase the number of displays and cameras in the next generation of automobiles. Market intelligence is therefore forecasting the use of up to 8 cameras and up to 4 displays per car in the future. This means a lot of video data has to be created, processed and transferred between different electronic units in the car, requiring the latest advancements of semiconductor technology. The processing performance of handling several independent video streams even on the same chip is available. The growth in complexity of highly integrated semiconductors is a challenge for the industry. Semiconductors with a lot of pins are bigger, more difficult to handle during manufacturing and are more vulnerable to malfunctions. With APIX (Automotive PIXel link) initially developed by INOVA Semiconductors there is now an industry accepted technology available to address these limitations. APIX is a 1 Gbit/s differential serial link capable of handling video streams in harsh automotive environment, enabling chip designers to replace parallel interfaces with a 2-pin serial interface for video pixel data reducing the number of pins on chips significantly. This addresses the need of next generation automotive applications using cameras and displays.
