NORWOOD, Mass. -- (Business Wire)
Analog
Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI), a global leader in high-performance
semiconductors for signal processing applications, introduced today a digital
audio bus technology capable of distributing audio and control data
together with clock and power over a single, unshielded twisted-pair
wire. The AD2410 transceiver is the first in a family of devices that
enables ADI’s new Automotive
Audio Bus (A²B), which significantly reduces the weight of existing
cable harnesses, resulting in improved vehicle fuel efficiency while
delivering high fidelity audio. The AD2410 transceiver also eliminates
the need for expensive microcontrollers with large memories that are
required in existing digital bus architectures.
“As an early implementer of ADI’s A²B, Panasonic Automotive found the
technology to significantly reduce cabling complexity and associated
cost and weight of next-generation infotainment systems, key areas of
focus for Panasonic’s OEM customers,” said Jonathan Lane, Group Manager,
Audio & Acoustics, part of Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of
America (PASA*) Advanced Development Engineering. “We believe A²B to be
well suited to address applications such as microphone arrays and Active
Noise Cancellation, a leading area of expertise for Panasonic that we
expect to be an integral component of next-generation infotainment
systems.”
More about the AD2410 A²B Transceiver
The AD2410 is a low-cost audio transceiver that provides 50 Mbps of data
bandwidth and support for up to 32 discrete upstream and downstream
audio channels. All standard audio sampling rates are supported as is
daisy-chaining of multiple AD2410 slave devices to a single master.
Unlike existing digital bus architectures, system delay is fully
deterministic at all slave nodes, making the AD2410 particularly well
suited for applications including active noise cancellation, in-car
communications, and microphone beam forming. In addition to decreasing
cabling complexity, the AD2410 reduces audio system eBOM costs by
providing a phantom power capability to all slave nodes, which
eliminates the need for a local power source. The AD2410 meets all
relevant automotive ESD, EMI, and EMC requirements. It operates over the
extended automotive temperature range (-40C to +105C) and is fully
AEC-Q100 qualified. The AD2410 also includes extensive diagnostic
capabilities enabling the identification of system-related failures. The
AD2410 is fully configurable using ADI’s SigmaStudioTM
graphical development tool which minimizes development time and ensures
fast time to market.
Pricing and Availability
First OEM deployments of the AD2410 transceiver are expected in 2016.
