Microchip Technology, declared that its MOST50 Intelligent network Interface Controllers (INICs) are powering the infotainment systems of the new Toyota Vellfire executive-lounge vehicles. This is the latest deployment among a wide variety of the Toyota Motor Corporation’s brands, which have been using MOST50 in their infotainment systems for more than a decade, counting both volume and luxury vehicles. In the new Vellfire implementation, Toyota is once again using MOST® technology to ensure high-quality digital audio throughout the vehicle.

To date, more than 170 million MOST devices have been installed in 191 car models since 2001. Toyota and all major carmakers have for many years successfully implemented MOST technology in their multi-node infotainment networking systems, as it provides a field-proven, low-risk, whole-system solution. Toyota’s networks utilize Microchip’s MOST50 INICs, which feature an Electrical Physical Layer (ePHY) that is optimized for use with Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) copper wire. The result is a system that can predictably and efficiently transport video, audio, packet and control data throughout the vehicle without time-synchronization protocols, using dedicated channels for minimal processor overhead in the main infotainment control unit processors. The remote-connection-administration and remote-control capabilities of all MOST INICs enable further options, counting the ability to build slim (processor-less) network nodes. MOST INICs also provide industry-standard hardware interfaces to processor and peripheral devices for the efficient routing of audio, video and packet data, which greatly simplifies module designs. End users can right away access the vehicle’s infotainment system, due to the MOST INIC’s ultra-fast network startup feature.

Microchip Technology Incorporated develops, manufactures, and sells semiconductor products for various embedded control applications. The company offers microcontrollers, such as 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microcontrollers under the PIC brand name; and 16-bit dsPIC digital signal controllers, in addition to provides microcontrollers for automotive networking, computing, lighting, power supplies, wireless communication, and wireless audio applications.
