SMSC MOST networking technology
SMSC has announced that its Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) networking technology has been selected as part of the infotainment system for the Lexus HS250h.
MOST multimedia networking technology enables the networking of feature-rich infotainment systems in automobiles by providing the means to distribute multimedia entertainment functions among the various control devices around the car.
For example, a CD changer, radio, global-positioning system, mobile telephone and DVD player can be established in an efficient ring network and can send crisp, static-free audio signals digitally to the amplifier by utilising the MOST network.
MOST50 uses a double-density coding scheme to double the bandwidth over the first generation, MOST25, while maintaining the same physical transmission frequency.
With MOST50, the data signal is transmitted over Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) or Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) copper cables, allowing customers to use conventional wire-harness and established manufacturing processes.
