To address consumer concerns about driver safety in autonomous vehicles, automakers have increased their focus on safety requirements for ADAS applications. Safety-critical systems, whichrequire redundancy and fault diagnostics, have stringent ASIL requirements. These ADAS systems need interconnecttechnology that enables the data rich environment for the car of the future.Maxim’s ASIL rated voltage/power monitoringand SerDes technology will be used by NVIDIAtoachieve the industry’s first Level 5 autonomous driving system needed to make self-driving cars a reality.
Maxim’s next-generation6Gbps GMSL SerDes technology supports the high data rate, complex interconnect, and data integrity requirements offuture automotive infotainment,ADAS, and autonomous driving.This technology also providesthe safety relevant featuresandflexibility needed to build autonomous driving systems such as theDRIVEPegasusand DRIVEXavierplatforms.As part of the high-performance analog integrations, Maxim also supplies low IQ automotive-grade power management solutions.
