VEHICLE NETWORKING & CONNECTIVITY
The programmable architecture and built-in connectivity
of Xilinx
)3*$
s is ideally suited for automotive
infotainment and in-vehicle networking applications,
from development through production. The same
hardware can be used for multiple car models with
different feature offerings and connectivity added or
updated as networking standards change over time.
The integration of vehicle network connections along
with audio/video processing acceleration or graphics
subsystems on a single Xilinx device creates an efficient,
cost-effective system that works independently or with
other application-specific devices.

Today’s vehicles would require
hundreds of dedicated point-to-point
connections for switches, sensors,
motors, and controls to handle the
myriad of communications possibilities.
Xilinx supports multiple in-vehicle
networking standards that eliminate
the need for bulky, expensive, and
complex wiring. XA devices with
