Maxim, Nvidia collaborate on autonomous driving platform
Specifically, Maxim’s next-generation 6-Gbps gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) serializer and deserializer (SerDes) technology supports Nvidia’s DRIVE Pegasus platform – claimed as the industry’s first Level 5 full-autonomy system – as well as Nvidia’s DRIVE Xavier for Level 4 driving.
According to Maxim, its Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) solutions and high-performance analog integration – which include its GMSL and SerDes technology, as well as a power system monitoring solution – provide the flexible foundation needed to meet functional safety requirements for NVIDIA’s autonomous driving platform.
Safety-critical systems, which require redundancy and fault diagnostics, have stringent ASIL requirements. In addition to meeting these needs, Maxim says its next-generation 6Gbps GMSL SerDes technology supports the high data rate, complex interconnect, and data integrity requirements of future automotive infotainment, ADAS, and autonomous driving.
As part of the high-performance analog integrations, Maxim also supplies low IQ automotive-grade power management solutions.
“The NVIDIA DRIVE AI platform, which is scalable from Super Level 2 to the fully autonomous capabilities of Level 5, requires high-bandwidth camera data transmission and aggregation,” says Gary Hicok, Senior Vice President of Hardware Development at NVIDIA. “Working with Maxim’s safety solutions, NVIDIA is delivering the highest functional safety standards that the industry demands.”
