First INIC MOST150 controller with support for interface devices of
Microchip announces the OS81118, the first MOST150 Intelligent Network Interface Controller (INIC) with a high-speed USB 2.0 device port and an integrated coaxial transceiver.
MOST150 technology was successfully installed in the first cars in 2012. Microchip now announces the newest member of its MOST150 INIC family to continue the MOST success story.® in the future.
With its USB 2.0 port, including USB PHY and High-Speed Inter-Chip interface (HSIC), the OS81118 enables designers to create Wi-Fi and mobile connectivity applications.® in the car for the MOST150 network by connecting a standard Wi-Fi/3G/LTE module via USB. This simple solution reflects the current market demands for consumer applications in the automotive environment, such as Internet access, email, social networks and local services. In addition, OS81118 enables automotive engineers to connect most advanced multicore consumer SoCs to in-vehicle MOSFET networks.
Together with the interface to the optical physical layer (oPHY), the OS81118 integrates a coaxial transceiver that opens a way to reduce costs in the physical layer of MOST. Furthermore, this coaxial physical layer (cPHY) can be used in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

OS81118 supports the trend in the infotainment market to use high-end SoCs, developed for mobile and consumer devices, in automotive applications. However, these SoCs do not have specific automotive interfaces, such as CAN, LIN, MediaLB® or SHOW. The built-in high-speed USB port on the OS81118 makes it easy to connect the SoCs to any MOST150 automotive network, with the added flexibility of the coaxial transceiver.
MOST multimedia network technology enables the interconnection of feature-rich infotainment systems by providing the means to distribute multimedia entertainment functions among the various control devices present in the car. For example, CD or DVD changer, radio, GPS navigator, mobile phone, and digital media interfaces can all provide signals to feed this efficient network. Signals are sent digitally and without interference to the amplifier and monitors.
In order to target development and accelerate time to market, Microchip is also announcing the OS81118 Physical+ Interface Board. This card incorporates all the physical hardware interface of a MOST network. The OS81118 card ships with a USB 2.0 interface supporting both the optical and coaxial physical layers and is scheduled to be available in Q2013 XNUMX.
OS81118 ships in a 72-pin QFN package and is scheduled for volume production in January 2014. Early adopters can order samples now; Sample production is scheduled for the third quarter of 2013.
