Microchip has secured a design win for its MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) controllers in the forthcoming supercar from Pagani, the Huayra BC. The car’s premium surround sound audio and infotainment system will be powered by MOST technology, and specifically by Microchip’s MOST Intelligent Network Interface Controllers (INICs).
Pagani is using Microchip’s OS81050 INIC to transport video, audio, packet and control data throughout the vehicle. “The Huayra BC is a fascinating supercar and we are excited about the selection of our MOST technology in its infotainment system to provide high-quality digital audio,” said Dan Termer, vice president of Microchip’s Automotive Information Systems Division. “Pagani chose MOST for what they call their ‘most technologically advanced Huayra coupé yet,’ which is now benefiting from a flexible and feature-rich infotainment system.”
The MOST Cooperation standards enable automotive OEMs and their Tier 1 suppliers to ensure digital multi-channel audio streaming of the highest quality. This proven and well supported methodology for defining and implementing high-bandwidth infotainment provides a robust method for system management and control with superior reliability and quality of service (QoS). Using MOST technology also results in reduced weight by transmitting control and audio data over lightweight plastic optical fibre (POF).
To facilitate development, MOST technology comes with a complete ecosystem of tools, software and support. Tools vendors include the OptoLyzer MOCCA family and OptoLyzer Studio, both from K2L; the software stack can be MOST Linux driver or MOST NetServices; schematics and layout reviews such as MOST Check are available; and multimedia companion IC products include video encoding, DTCP content protection, I/O expansion and power management.
