US: Chip makers collaborate on auto data processing

摘要

THE semiconductor maker Altera is working with National Semiconductor on the transmission, processing and display of digital data in automotive applications as a first step to closer co-operation that will include complex collision detection systems, reported EngineerLive! on 10 June. The two semiconductor makers have developed a first reference design for graphics interconnect to run digital video in automotive infotainment and driver assistance applications, using Altera's Cyclone FPGAs and National's FPD-Link 2 embedded clock serialiser/deserialiser (SERDES).
