Toshiba has made available TB9032FNG, the first product of an automotive driver/receiver IC for the physical-layer interfaces defined in the Clock Extension Peripheral Interface (CXPI), the standard for automotive communications protocols. This new product facilitates CXPI communication by combining it with an MCU that has a built-in CXPI controller.
The electrification of automobiles is increasing the number of electronic components in automotive systems, adding to their complexity and vehicle weight, as more wiring harnesses are required. As a solution to this issue, CXPI, which can reduce wire harnesses through multiplex transmission in-vehicle communication technology, is attracting attention as a communication standard suitable for sub-networks in automotive body applications, combining low cost and high responsiveness.
