To implement ADAS applications according to SAE autonomy levels 2 and 2+, more and more sensors are being used. Here, the ASA-ML standard scores points thanks to scalability, architectural flexibility, and interoperability advantages. Microchip and Aviva Links have now demonstrated this latter point.

The automotive industry is continuing its transition from proprietary Serializer/Deserializer solutions (SerDes) to an interoperable ecosystem established by the Automotive SerDes Alliance and its first open standard, ASA Motion Link (ASA-ML). ASA-ML is currently being implemented by automakers and suppliers. The advantage: it provides an asymmetric, high-speed communication standard that connects the increasing number of cameras, sensors, and displays in vehicle networking. Microchip Technology and the future NXP subsidiary Aviva VIVA Links have now achieved ASA-ML interoperability.

Strong Ecosystem

The Automotive SerDes Alliance has more than 175 members, including BMW, Ford, General Motors, Hyundai Kia Motor Company, Nio, Renault/Ampere, Stellantis, Volvo, and Xiapeng Motors. The cross-manufacturer ecosystem is actively working to bring ASA-ML-enabled systems to market to support the growth of driver assistance systems and in-vehicle infotainment applications.

ASA-ML supports asymmetric, high-speed video, control, and data transmission of up to 16 Gbps. To implement ADAS applications for autonomy levels L2 and L2+, an increasing number of cameras and sensors must be integrated into vehicles. These applications require the scalability, architectural flexibility, and interoperability advantages of the ASA-ML standard. These are driven by vendor-independent solutions for high-bandwidth data connectivity, reducing reliance on proprietary solutions.

Through the acquisition of VSI, Microchip was able to bring an ASA-ML chipset to market. The interoperability demo with Aviva Links follows the semiconductor manufacturer's previous achievements, such as the recently formed partnership to provide an ASA-ML camera development platform for the Japanese vehicle market.

The chipset series VS7000 of ASA-ML serializers/deserializers is available as samples for qualified customers.

Less Risk, Lower Costs

This cross-manufacturer interoperability aims to meet the industry's need for interoperable, secure, and fast data connections through solutions that can be sourced from multiple vendors. This minimizes supply chain risks, promotes competition, and reduces costs. (se)
