NXP Presents the World's First One-Chip Solution for All Global In-Car Infotainment and Broadcast Standards
At CES 2017, NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI), the global leader in automotive and in-car infotainment semiconductor solutions, announced the SAF4000 - the world's first fully integrated software defined radio solution capable of covering all global broadcast audio standards, including AM/FM, DAB+, DRM(+) and HD.
The new IC represents a breakthrough in simplifying the development of high-performance infotainment platforms as it replaces today's multi-chip solutions with a single ultra-compact RFCMOS device.
The SAF4000 is software-defined, thus simplifying the logistics for car OEMs: a single hardware device covers all regional broadcast requirements via an end-of-line firmware update, saving cost and complexity for multiple hardware and software offerings across the globe. In combination with NXP's newly announced i.MX 8 applications processor and the new TDF8534 smart Class D amplifier, NXP is now able to offer a complete high-performance, easy-to-use car infotainment platform with integrated audio in the market.
Car infotainment is a true differentiator for carmakers and the competitive automotive marketplace. The integration provided by the SAF4000 reduces complexity and system costs while delivering a 60% power and space savings for great design flexibility.
'The step from multi-chip discrete to a one-chip RFCMOS solution is a true quantum leap for the industry,' said Torsten Lehmann, senior vice president and general manager of Car Infotainment and Driver Assistance at NXP. 'One-chip means a significantly smaller hardware footprint, easier development and simple worldwide integration with the ability to receive multiple different digital, as well as analog radio standards and to switch between them via software. Centralized infotainment head units, distributed radio/audio systems, as well as smart antenna solutions are perfectly supported by this new one-chip family.'
