ADI offers three enhanced automotive audio bus (A2B) transceivers with unparalleled capabilities to customize system-level performance to the most stringent EMC requirements. The new AD242x family offers configurable transmit power levels, enabling developers to match system performance to specific OEM EMC requirements, a key design standard for all feature-rich automotive infotainment systems. These transceivers can also extend the use case for microphone connections and distribute audio and control data, as well as clock and power, over a single unshielded twisted pair, greatly reducing wiring complexity. These features greatly reduce system costs and are well-suited for emerging multi-microphone applications such as road noise cancellation, in-vehicle communication and autonomous driving.
"A2B technology has proven to be a simple and cost-effective digital audio interconnect solution whose scalability enables HARMAN to provide a wide range of differentiated systems across multiple vehicle platforms," said Darby, vice president of global engineering for the Automotive Audio Division Hadley said. Suitable for HARMAN lifestyle audio department. "The AD242x family provides a seamless, fast time-to-market upgrade path for our existing A2B automotive audio solutions."
The AD2426W, AD2427W and AD2428W are fully compliant with all relevant automotive EMC, EMI and ESD requirements, fully compliant with AEC-Q100 requirements, and operate over the extended automotive temperature range (-40C to + 105C).
