Broadcom Announces Industry Leading Automotive Multilayer Ethernet Switches and Production Availability of Industry’s First...
21 Mars 2019 - 4:00PM
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today launched the BCM8956X, a family
of automotive multilayer Ethernet switches, designed to address the
growing need for bandwidth, flexibility, security and
time-sensitive networking (TSN) for autonomous and connected
vehicles. In addition, Broadcom has begun shipping production
quantities of its automotive 1000BASE-T1 PHY transceiver device,
the BCM8988X, enabling automotive OEMs to immediately deploy
Gigabit Ethernet on single-pair UTP cables for in-car networking
applications.
With the rapid adoption of in-vehicle electronics and increasing
bandwidth demands from data-intensive applications, Gigabit
Ethernet is quickly becoming the de-facto networking technology for
supporting high-bandwidth communications in automotive
applications. As vehicles become increasingly connected, Gigabit
Ethernet PHYs and multilayer Ethernet switches are essential in
handling the increased data traffic while being able to transfer
large amounts of critical data across the network for accurate real
time decision making.
The BCM8956X includes highly-optimized switches in various port
configurations with integrated 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 PHYs,
allowing customers to have scalable and cost-effective designs for
automotive gateway, ADAS and infotainment applications. The
integrated PCIe interface provides high bandwidth connectivity to
the host processor, while the on-chip Layer 3 flow accelerator
offloads the host processor from compute intensive routing
operations. Furthermore, the BCM8956X is packed with advanced
multilevel security features including dedicated hardware security
module (HSM) block for line rate encryption, L2 anti-hack, deep
packet inspection, and intrusion prevention reporting.
The BCM8988X is the industry’s first 1000BASE-T1 PHY with
integrated BroadR-SecureTM functionality. Broadcom’s BroadR-Secure
enables customers to authenticate each packet transmitted and
received on either end of the link using secure keys. The BCM8988X
has undergone rigorous IEEE 802.3bp compliance testing by the
University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL).
The device has passed critical IEEE 802.3bp PHY compliance
requirements test for which Broadcom is sharing the test reports
with its lead customers. The BCM8988x is a highly integrated
1000BASE-T1 PHY that incorporates state-of-the-art DSP and AFE
technology, enabling superior EMC and EMI performance, fast link-up
time, low power consumption and robust signal integrity over UTP
cables.
“With the availability of Broadcom’s industry leading secure
multilayer switch and Gigabit PHY, automotive manufacturers can now
design and build a gamut of Gigabit Ethernet systems to address
high speed secure networking applications,” said Ali Abaye, senior
director of marketing for the Physical Layer Products Division at
Broadcom. “As vehicles become increasingly advanced, Broadcom
continues to spearhead high speed Automotive Ethernet developments
to support secure networks to proliferate new applications such as
5G, artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous driving.”
“UNH-IOL and Broadcom have been collaborating from the early
days of formation of OPEN Alliance to test automotive Ethernet
products for IEEE conformance,” said Curtis Donahue, senior manager
of Automotive Ethernet Technologies at UNH-IOL. “On the latest IEEE
802.3bp PHY requirements, we are excited to have demonstrated
testing feasibility and continually extend our capabilities to
fully address the 1000BASE-T1 PHY specifications for automotive
applications.”
“The consolidation of multiple ECUs into domain controllers, in
tandem with the separation of sensors and high-compute processing
to enable highly automated driving, will mandate a radical overhaul
of the vehicle’s data backbone. Ethernet can satisfy the future
requirements of high throughput and low-latency in a cost-effective
and open way,” said James Hodgson, senior analyst for Smart
Mobility and Automotive at ABI Research. “The availability of the
world’s first truly secure multilayer switches and 1000BASE-T1 PHY
represents an important step in the much-needed overhaul of the
automotive computing architecture.”
