NXP has bought six year-old Omniphy of San Jose, a specialist in high-speed automotive Ethernet IP offering 15 IP families including the 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 standards.
The acquisition delivers expertise and Ethernet technology required for autonomous driving at speeds up to 100 Gbps.
Autonomous driving systems will require gigabit data speeds and beyond.
Current plans call for eight or more cameras, high definition radar, lidar and V2X capability, all of which generate steep data challenges for car networks.
These requirements, combined with the modern vehicle’s need to offload data to enable the new business opportunities of the connected car, will soon make terabyte levels of data processing commonplace.
NXP’s acquisition of OmniPHY, which has already begun to translate 1000BASE-T1 Ethernet for the automotive space, will give NXP a significant pisition in the area,
OmniPHY is a pioneer in high-speed automotive Ethernet IP and automotive qualified IP for 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 standards.
NXP and Omniphy will focus on 1.25-28Gbps PHY designs and 10-, 100- and 1000BASE-T1 Ethernet in advanced processes.
