  General Description

 

APIX® is Inova Semiconductors latest GBit/s Pixel Link, solving point to point connectivity solutions in the vehicle for DISPLAY and CAMERA applications.

The Embedded APIX is available for Spartan-6 devices for Automotive and Industrial Applications utilizing the Multi-Gigabit-Transcievers (MGT) technology of the LXT series

The APIX technology is opitmized in terms of EMI by design and well proven to be used in cars. This has also been achieved by collaboration with leading Connector and Cable manufacturers to offer a solid and ruggedized connectivity solution to the Automotive market.

The combination of adjustable driver characteristics, selectable operating modes (1 GBit/s or 500 MBit/s) and Spread Spectrum-Clocking enables the optimum combination of minimal EMI, maximum transmission distances, and lowest power consumption.


The device is sofware configurable to be adapted to the application specific requirements of bandwith, Video Interfaces and control signals.

In addidion Inova also provides the AShell technology which is a higher level communications protocol to enable easy implementation of secure and error resistent communication links over the sideband

The APIX technology has been adapted by numerous other Semiconductor suppliers to provide a broad choice of products and suppliers to the Automotive market

The AShell only can also be embedded in Spartan-3E devices
